WELCOME

Nick’s innovative contemporary landscapes reflect his fascination with both the drama and tranquility of the river and its banks.

He is drawn to the movement and the patterns made by the flowing water and in the plant life on the banks, and is captivated by the light and colours which change dramatically from one moment to the next, from day to day and season to season.

Nick paints in the studio working from a range of sources: sketchbooks, photos, previous paintings and his own visual memories of the subject. He is a ‘physical’ artist, moving the canvas from place to place and painting with great energy and movement, using a range of media and a water spray which helps him to create transitory effects.

His work has been exhibited to great acclaim throughout the UK, mainland Europe, and the USA.

Please contact the gallery to discuss the availability of these exquisite original paintings.

BARRY Hilton

introducing

the dramatic landscapes of Barry Hilton have established him as

one of the UK’s most enduringly successful artists. Each expressive

scene is brimming with emotion and atmosphere, evoked through

the use of intense colour and bold textural contrasts.

Barrys work never aims to duplicate the actual

colours of the landscape, but rather conveys the creative imagination of a genuine

artistic talent.

He builds up each composition in layers to give

a remarkable, almost ethereal feeling of depth

as his smooth, finely painted skies contrast with

the heavy impasto technique of the land as it

appears in his highly coloured foreground.

Effective juxtaposition of differing shades

defines each scene to stunning effect,

especially when the light falls on to the

heavy layer of paint which in turn scatters its

luminous rays in many directions.

Barry was born in Manchester in 1941.

Although painting and drawing always

played a crucial role in his life and he

achieved a first class B.A.(hons) degree in

Ceramics and Tableware Design.

It was not until he moved to Cornwall in

1979 that he first thought of painting as

a possible profession. Here he entered

a period of his life that had a profound

influence on the remainder of his artistic

career, meeting and working alongside

a group of extremely active artists which

led to considerable development of his

artistic abilities.

Barry continues to develop his style and

technique, and is now a mature artist at

the height of his powers.

as one of the world’s most recognisable and collectable artistic

icons, and these pieces represent some of the finest work of

his long and distinguished career.

The tempo and cadence of the human figure are brought

to life across the spectrum of his spellbinding

compositions. Even the pensive silence of these lone

studies has an inner strength that is derived from

his philosophy and his passion.

Fabian’s extraordinary achievements are due in

part to his creative and technical genius, and in

part to a unique style which is an embodiment

of his journey through life so far. For his

admirers and those lucky enough to own his

work, the unveiling of each new painting or

sculpture is a deeply personal moment.

each one is intoxicating,

offering not only a

sensual and

breathtaking

experience but

also providing

a glimpse into

the fascinating

psyche of the

man himself.

His bold and symbolic imagery

is an intense manifestation

of his personal insights into

the passions and hidden

depths of the subjects he

paints, which engenders

each powerful image

with a vibrant intimacy

to which other artists

aspire, and informed

collectors feel

inexorably drawn.

These powerful, large scale works add depth

and gravitas to an already outstanding oeuvre,

as he proves himself to be as adept in three

dimensions as in two.

They are created using the traditional lost-

wax method, an ancient process which dates

from the third millennium BC. The sculptor

creates the original figure in wax, then coats it

with plaster in order to make a mold. The wax

is then heated and poured away leaving the

hollow mold ready to be used in the casting

of the pure bronze sculpture. The work may

then be finished by hand, and Fabian has used

a unique and spectacular green-tinted patina

Each piece has then been mounted on a black

granite base to ensure that they are perfectly

balanced for display.

Each sculpture is accompanied by a beautiful

Certificate of Authenticity assuring its quality

and legitimacy. The certificates are signed,

numbered and thumb-printed by the artist,

and are presented in a handmade leather

portfolio. These sculptures will endure

through generations and be passed on as a

legacy from one of the 21st century’s most

inspirational and influential artists.

“My camera is in my hand at all times at

royal ascot, as I work non-stop to capture

the elegance of the day and the mood

amongst race goers. It’s a real privilege

to be a part of this great British tradition;

over the years I have been here on so many

occasions and have enjoyed seeing

how the fashions may change but the

excitement remains constant.

I would love to think that in the future my

Sherree is a warm and inspirational individual, and her

sunlit artwork reflects the things she loves and believes

in. We all have moments in our lives that are special, and

we may try to preserve them in our minds or be lucky

enough to have a camera to hand to record them. But

Sherree’s unique gift is to capture those moments in the

detail of a feather on a hat or a shadow on a lawn and

breathe life into the memories.

Her impressionistic approach eliminates artificial hard

edges, yet she describes her subjects in finely rendered

detail. Her expert handling of contrasting textures

creates an authenticity and accuracy

that imbues her work with an

unrivalled closeness and intimacy

between viewer and subject.

“children on the beach seem

to radiate a happy innocence and I

love to paint these timeless images.

The whole experience is so

alternative to their day-to-day

lives, and I have never seen

a child who isn’t captivated

when they find something

moving in their net.

These children are following

in the footsteps of generations

of others before them,

enjoying some of the

best things in life.”

Sherree boasts an impressive array of celebrity admirers which includes several

members of the Royal Family, but has also won over the hearts and minds of the general

public, becoming the artist of choice for celebrity portraits and TV events.

Alongside her original artwork, sales of her canvas editions have placed her in the

top five living best selling artists.

His latest work has been created for his UK tour

this summer, and visualises British culture in his

inimitable style.

Todd says: “this is a special painting for me. i

spent two weeks in the uk studying the British

people and the flow of life, i went through many

drawings before coming up with this final idea -

the first painting i have ever done as an exclusive

for the uk. while i was there i took hundreds of

photos of British pubs and this had a profound

effect on the conception of the frame - i wanted the

framing to feel like the heavy wooden architecture

of the bar so the painting would be in a genuine

home setting.”

Among his countless achievements, he is the artist

of choice for the world’s most high profile showbiz

events and a list of his celebrity collectors (Abbey

Clancey, Sharon Stone, Catherine Zeta-Jones,

Sylvester Stallone, Mary J. Blige, Barry Sonnenfeld)

reads like a Who’s Who of Hollywood and beyond.

His appointment as Official Artist to the GRAMMY®

Awards, and Warner Bros’ invitation to celebrate the

70th Anniversary of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ on canvas

have cemented his position as the world’s most

glamorous artist.

we also have a show stopping series of todd’s

His inimitable style is the result of a fertile

imagination combined with a disciplined

technique, and it has won him both

universal public and critical acclaim.

This summer, the people’s favourite has

given us a heart warming sculpture

him at his most inventive and his

most stylish, and can genuinely be

described as classic Hyde.

Doug Hyde’s work has inspired an entire generation of art-lovers.

Doug has built a formidable reputation over the

last few years as ‘the man behind the smile’,

one of the most iconic artworks of the 21st

century. Since he was named as the country’s

best-selling artist and described in a BBC news

broadcast as the most popular living artist in

the UK, his original painting, limited editions

and sculpture have become highly sought-after

collectors’ items.

As well as being the subject of three lavishly

illustrated fine art books, he has been featured

in numerous articles and on national TV and

radio on several occasions, and on a recent tour

of Japan, collectors queued around the block for

an opportunity to meet the man whose artwork

transcends boundaries and crosses continents.

As one of the country’s most consistently

successful artists, he has been the recipient

of several major prizes and his irresistible

characters are attracting an ever growing

number of collectors. Feted by the great and

the good in all walks of life, his work has raised

smiles on the faces of celebrity collectors

including England Manager Roy Hodgson, golfer

Rory McIlroy and movie star Emily Blunt.

Some artwork lends itself

better to sculpture than others.

There are some figures that

translate beautifully into

three dimensions and this is

undeniably the case in the work

of Doug Hyde.

Doug’s much anticipated

new sculpture is

engaging and

tactile, and makes

a stunning addition to

an existing collection,

or can stand alone

in any interior setting.

ON THE BUSESPHILIP BISSELL

phillip Bissell is a unique voice on the urban artistic landscape. His powerfully expressive statement pieces are dynamic celebrations of life in the fast lane and vibrate with energy and vitality.

While Philip is very much at home

within the rich tradition of British

cityscape painting, he has boldly

departed from all things conventional

and given us something completely new.

His highly distinctive work

re-examines the angles and

perspectives of familiar sights and

imbues them with an energetic sense of

freedom and caprice.

His unmistakable and adventurous

style plays with our conceptions of

reality and imagination, offering a

fascinating alternative view of London.

The seemingly relaxed, almost sketchy

approach to each scene is belied by the

level of detail contained in every inch of

the canvas.

21 22

Philip’s love of art has been there for

as long as he can remember.

“i recall visiting Birmingham

city art Gallery when i was in my

teens and being wowed by all the

Pre-raphaelite paintings. Just

witnessing how paint on canvas

could convey such miracles of

expression, mood and emotion

bowled me over...it was magical!”

PHILIP BISSELL

CitysCapes allow me to express my love of form shape and Colour in a way that exCites and stimulates me.

VIEW PHILIP’S NEW COLLECTIONIN THE GALLERY NOW

He has always loved to look at and

learn from the art of others and when

asked about his favourite artists and

role models his answers shed some

interesting light on his own work:

at the moment i think i would have

to say David Hockney - ‘a Bigger

Picture’ at the royal academy was

room after room of fantastic paintings!

He has been a major figure in my

artistic life since i saw his Los angeles

paintings way back in the 1970s -

all those vibrant swimming pool

blues and landscapes in the bright

californian sunshine.

i had two exhibitions in Los angeles

a few years ago and was able to visit

some of his locations and to see those

swimming pools for myself! Now i can

see why he stayed there for so many

years. there is a clarity of light there

that makes everything seem more

vivid and more intense.

Besides Hockney, Picasso has always

been a total inspiration in the way he

did his own thing and changed styles

all through his life according to his

creative urges. yet the work always

had astonishing power and life.

i also love the work of oscar

kokoschka for his use of colour

and freedom of line and shape,

and turner and monet, wonderful

colourists and evokers of mood and

place are also particular favourites.

Philip himself is intrigued by the

dynamic intensity of lines and forms

to be found in cities and the way

a mass of rooftops, windows and

juxtaposed buildings seem to vibrate

against one another in exciting and

unusual ways. Initially he was interested

in conveying this energy through use of

colour, but recent journeys to some of

his favourite cities opened his eyes to a

wealth of possibilities of focusing more

on line as an expressive tool.

The use of lines has proved a highly

effective way to visually describe and

transcribe the latent energy inherent in

these cities. The addition of mostly flat

and uncomplicated skies adds contrast

and complements the whole.

paintings should live and should impart some of that life and energy to the person viewing them.
