“My work is figurative and generally uses a narrative framework to explore themes of our shared history, often with a strong character and emotional resonance. I enjoy playing with metaphor, scale and perspective, and creating images that at first seem intrinsically simple, but on closer inspection are complex. My creative process reflects everyday life experiences which are often re-interpreted in an otherworldly context.”

Alison Critchlow
A Niggling Fidget
Oil and pastel on oil mono print on Japanese Kozo paper
45 × 51.5cm
Mounted
£195
Alison Critchlow is a painter, based in Cumbria, whose works straddle the line between figuration and abstraction. Painting, for Critchlow, is an experience enveloped in layers of memory, knowledge and reference interweaving together. Based on the northern edge of Cumbria, the framework and tradition of landscape surrounds her, and is often a starting point for many paintings. In this series of works, the artist manipulates and plays with the boundaries of this established structure and allows for the ‘uninterrupted flux of the world’ (in Sterne’s words) to permeate into the canvases.

20 x 20cm

Melvyn Evans
Boats, Church and Lighthouse
Linocut, ed. of 60
40 x 50cm (image)
Unframed
This work is signed by the artist.
Evans’s work is steeped in references to British Modernism of the 1950s, recalling the likes of Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Keith Vaughan, whilst bringing a contemporary illustrative twist to works that capture the power of place within British landscapes. Working between print, painting, and drawing, Melvyn Evans seeks to capture a human relationship with the varied landscapes of the British Isles, featuring locations around North Yorkshire and Lancashire, as well as prehistoric sites such as Doggerland.
Initially trained as a marine engineer – spending time working on submarines – Melvyn Evans studied illustration at Exeter College of Art and Design and Goldsmiths, London. He then took up drawing classes at the Royal College of Art. He became a professional artist, printmaker and illustrator in 1992. His work has been widely exhibited throughout the UK, including at the Royal Academy, the Royal College of Art and Somerset House.

The finished pieces are raw glazed and fired in an electric kiln to 1100°c.’

Rapid Sketch of Man
Flo-master pen on paper
51 x 41 cm
Framed
This work is signed and titled by the artist.
““I made drawings of workers in days past because I was fascinated by the men standing talking, or sitting playing dominoes. I was attracted by the wonderful shapes that they make in their varied attitudes. I also realised that life would change in some ways. The local collieries have gone, together with the pit road. Many of the old streets, chapels and clubs are no more. A large number of the ordinary but fascinating people who frequent these places are gone. However, in my memory, and I hope in my drawings, they live on. I simply close my eyes and they all spring to life.” Norman Cornish
Gordon Close
All Work, 2013
Lithograph print, signed, edition 6/10
One of five out of an edition of ten that has been hand coloured by the artist
29.8 x 23.5 cm (image size)
Framed in washed pine
Gordon Close trained as a sculptor and his work, which is now predominantly paintings and drawings, has originated from the working drawings he made for life-sized figure compositions; sculptures that were fashioned from traditional materials referring to, and making heavy use of, classical imagery. Now the drawings and paintings are of a world that embraces the domestic and everyday as well as historic (personal and in the wider sense), folklore and myth. Narratives inhabiting a familiar timeless interior or pastoral landscape often contain subtle references to the earlier sculptures.
Close received Northen Arts Awards in 1983, 1984 and 1986. He taught at Sunderland University College of Art & Design from 1993 to 1999 and has exhibited at: Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth; Yorkshire Sculpture Park; Broadgate Arena, London; Queen's Hall, Hexham; Blackheath Gallery, London; Sally Hunter Fine Art, London.
Elizabeth Frink RA
All the young sparrows were eaten by the snake, 1974/75
Lithograph, mounted
24 x 15.5cm (Image)
This listing is for the unframed work, but it is also available framed. Please contact us before purchase if you would like to discuss framing options.
Frink’s work revolved around archetypes of masculine strength, struggle and aggression. Combined with her preoccupation with war, completing a set of illustrations for Homer’s epic Greek poems ‘The Iliad’ and ‘The Odyssey’ was a natural fit. The poems tell the story of the Trojan War and the journey of Odysseus after the fall of the city of Troy. God-like characters are elevated to mythological status, and provided a rich source of imagery and stimulation for Frink.
Frink produced these lithographs with the master printers at The Curwen Press in 1974-75. Like many of her Modern British contemporaries, Frink showed great versatility in the approach she took to her art, undertaking commissions for illustrations and design projects. The result was a diverse output, which never compromised on quality and brought her work to the attention of a wider audience.
Richard Hobson
Bend in the Tyne
Etching, from a limited edition of 15
5.6 x 15.2cm (image)
26.4 x 35cm (frame)
This etching has been specially commissioned to accompany the exhibition 'Richard Hobson (1945-2004): The North East's Changing Industiral Landscape' at Gallagher & Turner, printed by a master printer from Richard Hobson's original plate.
Each print is sold framed in solid, limed oak.
The work of Richard Hobson buzzes with the intensity and vibrancy of an artist completely absorbed in their location. Soaring ships in Tyneside dockyards, rugged, industrial Northumbrian landscapes and excited Cullercoats day-trippers were all regular subjects. He worked quickly and instinctively, outdoors in all seasons and weathers, giving his paintings and drawings a sense of gritty realism.

Information for buyers
Tamsyn Trevorrow
Small Blue Bowl IV
Hand-glazed ceramic
12 x 9cm
Please note that delivery is not included in the price of this work. Due to the fragile nature of the piece, we will contact buyers directly to arrange and quote for delivery, or to arrange collection from the gallery.
Tamsyn Trevorrow is inspired by the beautiful yet rugged coastal landscapes of her native Cornwall. Her beautifully-rendered ceramics recall the interaction between land and sea, taking on the forms of that ever-changing landscape that has been sculpted by the elements.
Moulding the shoreline’s twisted natural forms into stunning pieces of ceramic sculpture, the works echo the curl of crashing waves and the contorted shapes and textures of weathered shells. Gorgeous cobalt, jade and turquoise slips and glazes line many of her works, giving a glimpse of deep oceanic blues and greens within the encrusted, shell-like outer forms of the bowls.
Her works are built by hand with a heavily grogged stoneware clay, adding and removing sections as they evolve, and suit being shown both inside and outside.
Own Art available on orders over £100.
