L. Amy Charlesworth<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nAmy is a Bradford born painter with a BA fine art degree from Leeds Metropolitan University who has worked and exhibited her hyperrealist paintings in Bingley, for many years, building up a reputation as a distinctive and original artist.<\/p>\n
Working primarily in oils on canvas, Amy covers an amazingly diverse range of subjects from landscapes to botanical, architecture to animals and birds, figurative to industrial machinery, and pretty much anything in between. Her work is highly representational. As she puts it \u201cI like things to look like they look\u201d. This does not mean that the work is without her own twist. Frequently a more dramatic feel is brought out by the use of strong shadows and light, but the resulting work is always instantly recognisable as hers.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\nWilliam Morrison<\/strong><\/h4>\nThese works have been a late addittion to the show. William in an exceptional artist who puts a great beauty, feeling and a sense of place into his brooding landscapes. very much for those who are happy to let their imagination run free. William was born in Scotland and trained at the Glasgow School of Art, but now lives in Halifax. We’ve had a few of his smaller works previously, but, at the gallery’s request he’s worked some up to a larger\u00a0 ‘Mantlepiece’ size and reckons they’re as good as he’s ever painted – I certainly won’t disagree.<\/p><\/div>\n
I’m afraid the photos don’t do them justice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery admin_label=”WM Gallery” gallery_ids=”9335,3089,9321,9332,9331,9322,9324,9325,9326,9327,9329,9330,9328″ posts_number=”20″ _builder_version=”3.20.2″]<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\nJosie Barraclough<\/strong><\/h4>\nScarborough born Josie, attended Batley Art College followed by Huddersfield and Leeds Universities before pursuing a full-time career in illustration and graphic design.\u00a0 Josie who is influenced and energised by light and colour, creates pieces that are a direct response to her surroundings. Inspired by experiences whilst travelling her subject work draws mainly on naturalistic elements landscapes, botanical and still life \u2013 finding that it\u2019s often a tiny item of information which spurs a series of paintings.<\/p>\n
Her work has developed in an expressive style in a variety of media \u2013 predominantly oil on canvas sometimes overlayin collage, and is powerful both in subject matter and colour.\u00a0 Josie Barraclough paints mainly at her West Yorkshire studio<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

New to our gallery in 2025, Andrew grew up in Eldwick and Cullingworth attending Bingley Grammar school and Bradford College to study art before moving to East Yorkshire. His paintings reflect northern life, often nostalgic with a twist of humour and a subtle nod to the bantams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery admin_label=”AS Gallery” gallery_ids=”8837,8836,8835,8833,9281,9282,9283,9284,9285,9286,9287,9288,9289,9290,9291,9292,9293,9294″ posts_number=”12″ _builder_version=”3.20.2″ hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)”]<\/p>\n

Heather Swain – Linocut prints<\/strong><\/h4>\nWe love Heather’s work, and at our request she produce a new work depictin five rise locks. Heather, who works from her home studio in Baildon is passionate about printmaking, with lino-cutting as her most common technique. Subject matter varies from careful studies from nature through to more abstracted works. Although the prints are produced as small \u2018limited editions, her tendency to experiment and vary colours and techniques during printing often results in subtle differences within editions.<\/p>\n

David Starley<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nDavid, the proprietor of the Bingley Gallery, first studied art at Sydney University whilst working in a steel foundry, but then chose to follow a career in archaeology, before becoming a professional artist. Oil paint is very thickly applied (impasto) with a painting knife to produce a three-dimensional, almost sculpted, image. This not only adds great depth but produces a surface that responds subtly to the changing light of the environment in which the work is displayed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\nJeremy Taylor – <\/strong>Watercolour & oils<\/strong><\/h4>\nJeremy is well known on the Bradford Art Scene, not only as a fine artist,\u00a0 but as a wonderful art tutor who helped launch many others’ moves towards professional careers. Typically, he has one watercolour and an oil, the margins of the latter are brushed out along the edges, a trait he’s developed since lockdown., when his view of the world had been limited to the view through the window, looking at a screen, or sometimes looking at piles of old photographs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nMatthew Duckett – acrylics<\/strong><\/h4>\nMatthew is an unusual talent painter, an artist\u2019s artist, based in Baildon. Perhaps slightly obsessive in his many depictions of desert-style landscapes, some of which, he told me, relate to films remembered from his young years, including \u2018Ice Cold in Alex\u2019. There\u2019s no doubting the painstaking care that\u2019s gone into these works, nor the the beauty and intricacy (they\u2019re never more than a foot wide) of the final work.<\/p>\n

Ian Tothill – Collage<\/h4>\n
Ian spent much of his working life helping children develop their creativity and self expression. During lockdown in 2020 he started his own art practice, making collages for a zine being compiled by his daughter. He found a thriving friendly online community of collage artists who share ideas, challenges, materials and encouragement. His work has now been accepted for exhibitions around the world, held solo shows locally and published.. The South Square Collage Club, which he founded in 2021, meets monthly, is open to all , from complete beginners to art college lecturers.<\/p>\n

A graduate of the Bradford School of Art, she works from her studio in South Square, Thornton. Her work focuses on the forms and colours found in the natural world. This particular dyptych featured in our Summer Exhibition and was much admired, but never quite found a buyer, so we asked for it back!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Christina M Harris \u2013 Acrylics<\/strong><\/p>\nBaildon-based Christina is an artist known for her specialism – painting sheep in snow. She uses heavily textured acrylic paint to create the depth of fleece found in many breeds of sheep, whilst the simplicity of a predominantly white background emphasises the loneliness of the winter landscape we once knew. With light-hearted titles to each work, these are bound to raise a smile.<\/p>\n

The shown example, “Sandswept”, she describes as \u201can abstract landscape of a dry, sandy cityscape. It is windy with the foreground sizzling and moving with the wind like a mirage. Part desert and part city. It is an original Gel Print on multiple layers of rice paper further enhanced with painted detail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Gallery will be launching its traditional Christmas show on Tuesday 16th Nov (7-9pm) which will then open ever day until Christmas Eve. It is always something a bit special; a chance for regular exhibitors to prepare new work, the past year\u2019s soloists to return with potential Christmas offerings and to give space to new artists who have caught the eye during the year. The front exhibition space in the gallery may have as many as 20 artists work on show. There is always a little uncertainty as to what turns up on installation day, but an eclectic mix can be expected, with no themes, no tonal co-ordination- and a huge range of media- a true Christmas Variety Show, with something to suit all tastes. With concerns over the global supply chain in the run up to Christmas, it is good to know that locally produced goods are still available, with the additional benefits of minimal, transport-related, carbon emissions, support for local producers, and the survival of independent retailers. The Bingley Gallery, has been based on Park Road, Bingley for the past 15 years, originally under the ownership of Jane Fielder and more recently by David Starley. Both are artists themselves, and both continue the tradition of supporting many other talented artists that work in our region by providing exhibition space and marketing for them.<\/span><\/div>","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bingley-gallery","category-exhibitions"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9171"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9387,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171\/revisions\/9387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
William Morrison<\/strong><\/h4>\nThese works have been a late addittion to the show. William in an exceptional artist who puts a great beauty, feeling and a sense of place into his brooding landscapes. very much for those who are happy to let their imagination run free. William was born in Scotland and trained at the Glasgow School of Art, but now lives in Halifax. We’ve had a few of his smaller works previously, but, at the gallery’s request he’s worked some up to a larger\u00a0 ‘Mantlepiece’ size and reckons they’re as good as he’s ever painted – I certainly won’t disagree.<\/p><\/div>\n

Although the prints are produced as small \u2018limited editions, her tendency to experiment and vary colours and techniques during printing often results in subtle differences within editions.<\/p>\n

David Starley<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nDavid, the proprietor of the Bingley Gallery, first studied art at Sydney University whilst working in a steel foundry, but then chose to follow a career in archaeology, before becoming a professional artist. Oil paint is very thickly applied (impasto) with a painting knife to produce a three-dimensional, almost sculpted, image. This not only adds great depth but produces a surface that responds subtly to the changing light of the environment in which the work is displayed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ian spent much of his working life helping children develop their creativity and self expression. During lockdown in 2020 he started his own art practice, making collages for a zine being compiled by his daughter. He found a thriving friendly online community of collage artists who share ideas, challenges, materials and encouragement. His work has now been accepted for exhibitions around the world, held solo shows locally and published.. The South Square Collage Club, which he founded in 2021, meets monthly, is open to all , from complete beginners to art college lecturers.<\/p>\n

The Gallery will be launching its traditional Christmas show on Tuesday 16th Nov (7-9pm) which will then open ever day until Christmas Eve. It is always something a bit special; a chance for regular exhibitors to prepare new work, the past year\u2019s soloists to return with potential Christmas offerings and to give space to new artists who have caught the eye during the year. The front exhibition space in the gallery may have as many as 20 artists work on show. There is always a little uncertainty as to what turns up on installation day, but an eclectic mix can be expected, with no themes, no tonal co-ordination- and a huge range of media- a true Christmas Variety Show, with something to suit all tastes. With concerns over the global supply chain in the run up to Christmas, it is good to know that locally produced goods are still available, with the additional benefits of minimal, transport-related, carbon emissions, support for local producers, and the survival of independent retailers. The Bingley Gallery, has been based on Park Road, Bingley for the past 15 years, originally under the ownership of Jane Fielder and more recently by David Starley. Both are artists themselves, and both continue the tradition of supporting many other talented artists that work in our region by providing exhibition space and marketing for them.<\/span><\/div>","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bingley-gallery","category-exhibitions"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9171"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9387,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171\/revisions\/9387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Subject matter varies from careful studies from nature through to more abstracted works. Although the prints are produced as small \u2018limited editions, her tendency to experiment and vary colours and techniques during printing often results in subtle differences within editions.<\/p>\n

David Starley<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\nDavid, the proprietor of the Bingley Gallery, first studied art at Sydney University whilst working in a steel foundry, but then chose to follow a career in archaeology, before becoming a professional artist. Oil paint is very thickly applied (impasto) with a painting knife to produce a three-dimensional, almost sculpted, image. This not only adds great depth but produces a surface that responds subtly to the changing light of the environment in which the work is displayed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Ian spent much of his working life helping children develop their creativity and self expression. During lockdown in 2020 he started his own art practice, making collages for a zine being compiled by his daughter. He found a thriving friendly online community of collage artists who share ideas, challenges, materials and encouragement. His work has now been accepted for exhibitions around the world, held solo shows locally and published.. The South Square Collage Club, which he founded in 2021, meets monthly, is open to all , from complete beginners to art college lecturers.<\/p>\n

The Gallery will be launching its traditional Christmas show on Tuesday 16th Nov (7-9pm) which will then open ever day until Christmas Eve. It is always something a bit special; a chance for regular exhibitors to prepare new work, the past year\u2019s soloists to return with potential Christmas offerings and to give space to new artists who have caught the eye during the year. The front exhibition space in the gallery may have as many as 20 artists work on show. There is always a little uncertainty as to what turns up on installation day, but an eclectic mix can be expected, with no themes, no tonal co-ordination- and a huge range of media- a true Christmas Variety Show, with something to suit all tastes. With concerns over the global supply chain in the run up to Christmas, it is good to know that locally produced goods are still available, with the additional benefits of minimal, transport-related, carbon emissions, support for local producers, and the survival of independent retailers. The Bingley Gallery, has been based on Park Road, Bingley for the past 15 years, originally under the ownership of Jane Fielder and more recently by David Starley. Both are artists themselves, and both continue the tradition of supporting many other talented artists that work in our region by providing exhibition space and marketing for them.<\/span><\/div>","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bingley-gallery","category-exhibitions"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9171"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9387,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9171\/revisions\/9387"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Oil paint is very thickly applied (impasto) with a painting knife to produce a three-dimensional, almost sculpted, image. This not only adds great depth but produces a surface that responds subtly to the changing light of the environment in which the work is displayed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery admin_label=”DS Gallery” gallery_ids=”3212,9184,9185,9188,9186,9187″ posts_number=”12″ _builder_version=”3.20.2″]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”JT Text” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ background_color=”#000000″]<\/p>\n Jeremy is well known on the Bradford Art Scene, not only as a fine artist,\u00a0 but as a wonderful art tutor who helped launch many others’ moves towards professional careers.
