The Essence of Land and Sea January 28 2022

THE ESSENCE OF LAND AND SEA:  A New Exhibition of Paintings
 Exhibition from:  Saturday 5th February  - Sunday 27th February 2022

Colin Carruthers was born in Antrim Town in Northern Ireland, where he spent most of his early childhood. He moved to Birmingham in 1985, studied Fine Art at Margaret Street and completed a B.A. Honours degree in 1997.

The significance of light and shade in creating an atmosphere play an important part in Colin’s work and he is particularly interested in the interplay of light between water and sky.   Colin likes to make trips to the countryside and coast whenever possible and continues to draw inspiration from his travels. 

This exhibition brings 21 new paintings to the gallery - following Colin's recent travels to France, Ireland and the United Kingdom.   Click here to view the Exhibition online>>>

New Printmaker! December 04 2021

We are pleased to introduce a new artist - Jenny Ing - to the gallery.  Jenny's work mainly features the urban environment and the places she knows best and Urban scenes feature regularly in her work. It is an interest in architecture and a fascination with the way space is taken up in cities,  that has led her to create these pieces, as well as the patterns, repetition and colours found in the built environment. Some of this interest occasionally spills over to lead her to create works of other subject matter.

Jenny works in relief print - a hand process involving cutting away areas from the surface of a flat block of lino, inking the remaining area and printing from this on to paper. She uses oil based inks and print on high quality 100% cotton rag Fabriano paper and uses a 170 year old Albion Press.

Purple Gallery now stocks Jenny's Birmingham prints and these are available to purchase in the gallery or online.

Introducing New Ceramics by Lou Hall June 10 2021

Louise Hall completed a Masters Degree at Nottingham Trent University in July 2012, following on from a BA in ‘Decorative Arts’.  She works with porcelain to create fragile and delicate looking hand built forms and vessels. By exploring the materiality of porcelain she has learnt how to push this wonderful material to its maximum. Detail is added from different colours and textures to create the illusion of fabric or paper or anything un-claylike .

Lou's latest collection includes mugs and plates, with a specific colour palette. She has continued to be inspired by the delicate material itself and has succeeded in creating durable and functional products.

New Purple Gallery Artist October 15 2020

We are pleased to soon be introducing new paintings to the Gallery by local artist Richard Otford Russell.  Richard was born in Alvechurch, Worcestershire. He excelled in art at school but his career took a very different path.  

He continued, however, to pursue his love of painting and attended evening classes so as to cultivate his talent in landscape painting.  

Richard says: "This recent series of paintings were created at an extraordinary time in world events when I had time to get out and enjoy the exceptional Spring weather. I revisited the places I had discovered in my youth. Fladbury and Pershore lie in close proximity to each other along the River Avon. I remember kayaking on this stretch of the river. It was utterly idyllic. Shimmering water bathed in sunshine with Swallows and Dragonflies darting around us". 

There will be four of Richard's wonderfully atmospheric watercolour paintings available at our Christmas Show which opens at 10 am on Saturday 14th November 2020.  The show continues (following a short break for Christmas) until the end of January 2021.

Wes Anderson's Dog - Walthamstow Stadium July 31 2020

Mychael Barratt has been working as a printmaker since 1991 and amongst his many achievements has written and had published his own book on intaglio printmaking.  He has produced a unique series of Artists’ Dogs and Cat etchings – which are proving to be very popular and resulting in sell-out editions.   Mychael is a narrative artist who illustrates incidents from everyday life and his sense of humour is evidenced throughout his prints and paintings.  

One of Mychael's latest prints in this fun series of artists' dogs and cat prints, is a larger silkscreen print - Wes Anderson's Dog - Walthamstow Stadium.  Wesley Anderson is an American film director, producer, and screenwriter. His films are known for their eccentricity and distinctive visual and narrative styles and he is regarded by some critics as a modern-day example of the auteur.

Purple Gallery will also be exhibiting some of Mychael's new smaller prints in this wonderful, fun series, at The Little Picture Show, which opens on Saturday 29th August and continues until 17th October 2020.

New Purple Gallery Printmaker May 09 2020

We have just received some new original prints into the gallery by printmaker Louise Davies. Louise is both a painter and a printmaker who has been creating from a young age.   She graduated with a Fine Art Degree from St Martins and completed an M.A. in Printmaking from Camberwell College of Art. She is a member of the Royal Society of Painter and Printmakers and was awarded the Curwen Print Prize in 2012 and the Zenith Print Purchase Prize in 2013. She is currently a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and her work is permanently on show at the Bankside Gallery, situated close to the Tate Modern. 

Louise's prints are primarily concerned with the landscape. Some are based on childhood memories, reflecting on the countryside and coast of the west of England. Other have evolved from small paintings and drawings done on location from sketch books. She has a strong use of colour combined with an individual and sensitive line drawing which she uses to create a visual language for her prints and paintings. Louise uses layers of translucent colour and calligraphic marks to emphasis the fluidity of the ever changing elements of nature.

Louise is inspired by artists such as Rothko - with his strong use of colour to communicate a mood, and Miro - with his whimsical use of lines.    Click here to View Louise's prints>>>

Dreaming of Birds! April 07 2020

We have just received five new small ceramic figurines in the Dreaming of Birds Series, by Susan Czopor.  Susan graduated with a B.A.  Honours in Fine Art from the Surrey Institute of Art and Design in 1996.   Susan creates brightly decorated ceramics - one of which was selected for display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London in early 2000.   Susan also produces paintings and her paintings and ceramics all celebrate colour, form, pattern and texture. Thoughts, feelings, figures and objects are synthesised into a unified visual statement reflecting her 'inner world'.

Ceramics Influences - Philip Eglin.   Painting Influences  -  Paula Modersohn-Becker, Chagall, Klimt, Matisse, Mary Fedden and narratives of Frida Kahlo and Shani Rhys-James.

The Arrival of Spring! March 05 2020

Giuliana divides her time between painting (oils, acrylics and watercolours)  and printmaking.  The Tuscan landscape and childhood memories still bear a strong influence upon Giuliana’s current work. In an earlier statement she describes her first encounters with art in Italy as a child in her father’s mosaic studio. She refers to the “translucency of the mosaic fragment” and her “fascination with the vibrancy of colour” from the juxta positioning of the pieces. These early perceptions, several years on, provide a language and a vocabulary for her pictures in terms of colour, surface, scale of which she uses in the construction of her tapestry-like, interlocking, angular-surfaced village landscapes.

On show throughout the Spring, we have eight new vibrant paintings along with a wide selection of Giuliana's linoprints.
