New originals from John Russell in an elegant contemporary style

Gallery 24/08/2022 Quay Art

John Russell’s original paintings are instantly recognisable due to the clear lines of his subject matter and the simple format of the overall scene.

John is a Scottish artist living on a farm in northern England. He depicts British landscapes combining a mix of the traditional with a contemporary finish. Brooding skies frame a dramatically lit foreground and the finish is enhanced by a resin coating. From Yorkshire Farms to Highland crofts, Lakeland cottages to Cornish mines, rugged barren scenes are his favourite subject matter.

These are often with a comical twist and include artists such as Jason Pillock, Fraud Monet, Mandy Warhol, Vincent Van Earoff and LS Lowryish etc

Abstract Paintings

Superb abstract paintings from Anna Schofield

Gallery 05/08/2022 Quay Art

A super new range of abstracts from well known artist Anna Schofield

See the Art of Anna Schofield

Anna loves travelling and documenting interesting parts of nature, whether it be the sky, the sea, or the pools and harbours around it. The places she visits live long in her memory, and she brings them back to life on canvas with her own interpretation. Anna is great believer in the positive power of art and treats it as a real necessity for our emotional existence.

Anna starts a painting by creating a suggestion of the mark using acrylic, gesso or other media and then covers it with many layers of oil paint. Anna uses both glaze and impasto techniques which date back to the times of the Italian Renaissance. This method employs numerous semi-transparent layers of paint, which modifies the appearance of the underlying structure. Each colour and their mix on the canvas has deep spiritual meaning for Anna, creating the ‘landscape of the soul’ and a symbiosis between the artist and the viewer.
