Nathan Walsh, Prague Morning Sun 2007Scarborough Realists Now

David Finnigan, Clive Head, Nathan Walsh, Steve Whitehead

Sat 4 Oct – Sun 14 Dec

Having made their home in Scarborough, these four internationally renowned artists have created a centre for new realist painting.  Despite their work being widely exhibited, this is the first time they have shown together in their home town.  This unique exhibition will bring together a range of paintings and drawings including popular Scarborough views.

Realist work looks photographic and seems to suggest reality. The artists actually incorporate information from many photographs and sketches to arrive at an idealised and almost surreal interpretation of their subject.

A publication will be available to accompany the exhibition, which has been provided thanks to support from the Friends of Scarborough Art Gallery.

Lisa Skelton

Sat 25 Oct 08 - Sun 25 Jan 09

Drawing her inspiration from natural forms, Lisa uses traditional knitting methods combined with silk appliqué, felting and other techniques to create woollen scarves of lively colours, patterns and textures. The distinctive quality of Lisa’s work has attracted commissions from such prestigious stores as Barney’s of New York, Mitsukoshi of Tokyo, and The Conran Shop and Designers Guild of London.
