Silson Contemporary has officially opened! Friday 7th October saw the launch of Silson Contemporary, a new independent art gallery located in Harrogate, with its first exhibition 'New Beginnings' that is currently showing a few of my selected artworks. The private view was fantastic as I was able to meet some of the other exhibiting artists and the buyers of my two paintings; "White and Blue Pot" and "Handmade Pots on Indian Stone".
It was a very exciting occasion for me because it marked the first time my work had been selected to be shown in a commercial art gallery. It was amazing to be able to meet and talk to so many different people involved in the gallery and enjoy the delicious nibbles generously provided.
There is an incredible mix of artworks for sale at the gallery including encaustic paintings, devoré, bronze sculptures and charcoal drawings. You can check out the Silson Contemporary website here for more details on each exhibiting artist and their available work.
Here are a few photos from the private view (photos courtesy of Amy because I forgot to take some!)
Thank you to Sarah at Silson Contemporary for putting in so much hard work and for believing in my paintings enough to have chosen them to be exhibited in the gallery! Also, thank you to Terry who kindly provided both Amy and I with a lift to the private view!
