MILMODA Art will bring its pop-up, touring fine art exhibition Here And Now to the Grange Hotel, Clifton, York, for one day only on August 6.
From 9am to 6pm, a selection of contemporary, original paintings will be on show and for sale.
MilModa proprietor Michelle Linger will present semi-abstract landscape works by Yorkshire artists Erin Ward and Maggie Melechi.
Erin’s latest series was inspired by visits to the coast. “I love the areas where the sea meets the land and rivers where salt water meets fresh water,” she says.
Her technique consists of building textures from using palette knife, brushes and even rags after focusing her choice on a limited palette colour range.
“I have a fascination with the change of light: a fascination of opposites, hard rock against water, the meeting of two extremes, yet it’s light and space which play the important part in my work,” she says.
In Maggie Melechi’s works, northern England meets southern Italy. “The mixed cultures of her husband’s birthplace blends passion into her vibrant pictures of the Yorkshire landscape,” says Michelle. “Photography is also an important source of reference, her camera being her sketchbook, which travels with her. On her return, she locks herself in her studio, creating her vivid works of art.”
Other artists on display will include Kathy Little, who has been selected to exhibit at this year’s Royal Academy Summer Exhibition; Fleur Deakin, exhibiting her large new canvas The Great Temptation; Irish artist Tina Reed, now turning her eye to the beauty, power and movement of racehorses.
