There's a new exhibition, 'Continuum', by Kitty North in Gallery 2 at Salts Mill (until next April). Kitty is an artist who works from a studio in Arncliffe, up in Littondale. She paints people and places inspired by the Yorkshire Dales where she grew up and now lives again after spells at Chelsea School of Art, Brighton and Manchester. She had a commissioned exhibition here back in 2017 (see HERE) with highly coloured paintings inspired by Salts Mill. I enjoyed that though I find these current paintings much more subtle and beguiling. The figures have a Lowry-esque feel to them, though there the similarity ends. Kitty's paintings are much more cheerful and exuberant than Lowry's! See HERE for her website.
Beautiful, intriguing work!
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, reminds me of Munch. He did some cheerful paintings as well as the gloomy ones he's known for. Same sort of fresh loose approach. Or something.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful works.
