Artist Myles Linley opens his one man show “Drawings and paintings of Hull and East Yorkshire” at Creation Fine Arts , Beverley this month.
Working from his studio near Beverley, Myles is acquiring an exceptional reputation for his work that shows a more brooding East Yorkshire.
Attending art college in Harrogate and Bristol Myles moved to the area five years ago which leaves his observations more outsider than native. He cites among his influences Goya and van Gogh – and echoes of both can be seen in his work.
Myles says: “My paintings are mostly landscapes, seascapes and street scenes. this particular exhibition focuses on East Yorkshire, it’s an incredibly inspiring area, where all of the elements including light, shade, movement and stillness come together to create some dramatic and atmospheric images.”
Nigel Walker, owner of Creation Fine Arts says:
“East Yorkshire has recently been put on the map as far as art is concerned, especially after following the incredible success of David Hockney’s London exhibition.”
“It’s a real pleasure to be continuing that theme through another artist’s eyes. Myles has a huge body of work that I’m sure will attract a huge number of visitors. He has a great reputation in the area and we’re really looking forward to the show.”
The show follows recent successful exhibits in Leeds and Harrogate. The show previews from 6 to 8.30 pm on 25th January and anyone interested is welcome to attend.
The exhibition runs until 3rd March.
