Paul Stone's Work

It has been a busy few day's. I was on the BBC York on Jonathan Cowap last Friday and you can listen to that HERE Then there has been all the final prep, we have managed to sell two works already so things are going well. Only two more days to go now and tonight I am going to talk about Paul Stone's work.


Green Line - 25 x 30cm - Oil on board

Paul's works are are almost photo-realistic but they are far too painterly, you can see the work that goes into them and the brush marks relates to the rich history of oil painting. This history is obvious in style in terms of his use of still life but the works are very contemporary. The image above is one of my favorites, I love the clear simple composition and the way this works looks at texture with these shining metal glasses placed on glass and how the title also makes reference to the material. This material or subject is important in Paul's work and he is very careful to pick each and spends a great deal of time working with the composition before committing to a new work which in itself can change and develop. All this time preparing really pays off in the finished product making fantastically well rounded work that draws nearly every ones eyes no matter what type of art they like.

Thought's on Investment in Art & Inheritance

I just found this article that talks about inheritance and how most people don't expect to get any nowadays and when they do they think about it in terms of cash.

Read the article here :

So true investment in Art seems to make sense, if you collect sensibly, buy work you love with an eye on investment you can leave something special to your love ones that still holds a monetary value. By keeping and eye out for up and coming artists with passion and drive and above all quality work (in terms of how it’s made) you can stand to make great gains but this is more risky. The other way if you have a bit more to spend is to buy into already established artist whose career continues to grow but again you need to look out for quality and originality.

At Revolving Gallery we can offer both these options and if you are thinking about building a solid collection come and talk to us and we will offer impartial advice to help you along the way.

One week to go

Here we are with just one week left to go and things are getting exciting. On Monday Joe & I had an interview with Charles Hutchinson at The Press with an article to follow on Friday so look out for that. The other thing to look out for is a copy of our brochure that has started going out this week.

The BIG news this week is we have now sold two works by William Bradley so red dots are going up already on the website 'Cold Shoulder'(below) and 'Hmm...' have gone but there are still plenty left and fantastic work from our other four artists.


Cold Shoulder - 61 x 82cm - Oil on Canvas (SOLD)

The last bit of breaking news is I will be on BBC York this Friday Lunchtime on Jonathan Cowap show between 1-2pm so listen out for that.
