Exhibition: Ferens Open Exhibition 2024 and Feral Reveal, Pier Street, Hull

 Exhibition: Ferens Open Exhibition 2024





Pastoral, oil on canvas, 76cm x 102cm

I exhibited my oil painting of the Lord Line Building, Pastoral, at this year's Ferens Open Exhibition. The building is an iconic site on St Andrew's Quay, which was Hull's fish dock. It forms part of Hull's rich fishing heritage. Now unused and derelict, I captured the site in the glow of the evening sun with late summer grasses in the foreground. The old pump house which worked the lock gates can be seen to the right. I aimed to capture memories and nostalgia within my rendering of the view.

Feral Reveal, June 2024

The exhibition comprised of a range of recent artworks made by students at the Feral Art School, Guildhall Road, Hull. I attend the Hull Print Collective classes there. The gallery was a good venue in Pier Street, off Humber Street, the old Fruit Market in Hull. The event was a type of "pop up" art show and the large space was ideal to show off the students' work. Some of my prints were experimental in the use of new techniques, such as sugarlift and the use ofTetra Pak.
