Thursday, May 17, 2007 Ian Burke in a North Yorkshire Art Gallery
Those of you who have been lucky enough to have visited the village of Staithes on the coast in North Yorkshire might well know the delights of the Staithes Gallery. I just thought I'd mention it because whilst having a look I was really impressed with the work from one of the artists they display: Ian Burke.
Both Burke's paintings and lino cut prints really drew me in. I like the rugged feel to them, and the paintings of tractors in particular would be welcome to hang on my wall. I know, who'd put a picture of a tractor on their wall? But before judging, take a look first and see - you might just find you like tractors a little better afterwards.

Who am I? I'm Adam Christie. I love looking at art, all types of art. I comment on it in my own way. I despair at art snobbery. There is no need for it. Occasionally I even pick up a brush myself, despite not having an art degree! That's a hanging offence in some art circles.
This blog is just a bit about the art I come across on my travels and maybe some stuff about my own painting experiences. Hope you find it useful. Contact me! Text Link Ads script error: local_90713.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_90713.xml. |
