About This Artwork

Neil Simone was born in London in 1947 and studied Graphic Design& Display. Neil then moved to Harrogate and for over three decades his skill and dedication has led to the development of an innovative concept and style. As distinctive as it is unique his work has a visually compelling quality that arrests the attention and goes on to enlighten the imagination. For those who admire good art it is impossible to ignore the potency of his imagery, with such infinite detail, beautiful symmetry and balance, each picture has a fascinating ambiguity that invites interpretation. The standard that he has achieved as a painter has attracted a massive following of people from every walk of life and from many different countries.

About This Artwork

“If I find a story to hang a painting on as in some of my works then I'll do that but it doesn't happen very often. It rarely appeals to me to be overt and obvious in the meaning, and if I see a work heading that way I find myself deliberately trying to obscure it. I don't want people to see the painting and just know what it's about. It must be interesting enough to invite interpretation, or even simply (hopefully) a second look. I know exactly what I'm putting in of myself, and it's usually stuff I don't want to tell people (or can't), and that's why I paint it instead.

About This Artwork

In 1774, on a remote mountain in Scotland, a group of scientists and mathematicians made a series of measurements to weigh the mass of the Earth to enable them to chart the planets. As an incidental they also invented contour lines and our current system of mapping the physical environment.This, along with other ideas and developments through the centuries, has helped us to see our environment and the cosmos in new ways.Steve explores these ideas, the effect they have had on our perception of our immediate environment, and our changing understanding of the beginning of things.

About This Artwork

I have always liked a nice cup of tea! However, it wasn’t until I started my degree course, that I realised I had such a passion verging on obsession, for everything tea related. Although I am currently totally obsessed with tea sets, tea parties and afternoon tea, earlier work mainly featured piers and Edwardian architecture (which I have to admit, is just an extension of the tea theme because the Edwardian and Victorian eras were the best tea drinking times!) The love of old architecture led me onto creating very linear drawings using pen and ink, to capture the intricate details of the buildings. And this is how I began using wire as another drawing material. All the pieces I now create start as pen and ink drawings, to be then translated into 2D/3D wire work.All my pieces are unique and one offs, and therefore this allows versatility and I welcome commissions. I hope my wire work illustrates the fun and elegance of my most loved past time!

About This Artwork

James Naughton is a young award-winning artist currently based in Bolton. He graduated in 1994 with a BA (Hons) in Graphic Art from Leeds Metropolitan University. His work has been compared with that of the great British landscape artist, Turner. This northern lad captures the dales and moors in all its majestic glory - the storms, the grey and misty days, the warm summer evenings and the autumn blaze. These stunning vistas are imposing and intimidating and yet express a sense of wonder through the epic forces of nature.

About This Artwork

Norman Smith is one of Britain’s best pastel artists. To create a sense of atmosphere is his ultimate goal and he achieves this through his amazing palette of intense colour. Norman is able to reflect dreamy blues of Venice through to the hot reds and yellows of the Mediterranean and then onto the greener tones of England. He is a true “Olympian” in his field!

About This Artwork

Stuart has suggested we do not need to know where the figures are, nor where they are going to relate to the personal moments captured in the paintings – daydreaming, stargazing, sleepwalking and travelling. The figures are still and peaceful, often deep in thought about something beyond the canvas

About This Artwork

My work explores the collection and preservation of memories through photographs or small found objects that are usually discarded. I work in collage, using gouache, decorative papers and found two-dimensional objects to create a sense of rebuilding a past experience or feeling. I am interested particularly in the theme of travel, and like to work with motifs such as boats and planes to create a sense of adventure and exploration. I admire the work of Peter Blake, and take inspiration from his use of bold colour and graphic patterns, which bring out the sense of celebration in my work.

About This Artwork

Rose Wylie is an image magpie, her zany paintings and drawings reference primitive painting, contemporary animation, childhood memories, films and a multitude of other eclectic references. Their superficial innocence is however deceptive and they have what has been called an ‘anarchy of the subconscious’.PC with Trainers is a collaged drawing of the actress Penelope Cruz and is from Wylie’s first solo show at Transition ‘Wear What You Like’.

About This Artwork

Jenny has a wonderful talent for bringing life into landscape, a sense of animation and excitement, which comes from an ability really to observe what’s there in front of her. There are elements caught here on canvas that allow us to enjoy the drama of memories, and a sense of time and place.

About This Artwork

Michelle’s work is based on an exploration of the North Yorkshire coast and landscape; it is important for her to be outside, walking to a location, absorbing her surroundings. She works on site, finding unusual locations as she tries to capture familiar scenes in a different context. Here the imposing cliffs contrast with the tightly-packed jumble of cottages at Staithes, a favourite location. Colour and light are often what attracts Michelle to paint and the moods of the sea have a magical quality for her. She hopes that viewers share her love of the elements and wish to experience it for themselves.
