The Northern Summer Exhibition 2024 at Newcastle Arts Centre 5th - 31st August
Monday 5th August 2024 sees the opening of the annual Northern Summer Exhibition at Newcastle Arts Centre on Westgate Road. I was again delighted to help curate this exhibition, which features 120 selected entries from a vast submission of over 400 by very talented artists in our region, many using a variety of mediums within their artworks.
My own entry ‘Nordic Ace’ was inspired when watching the huge ships coming in to port at South Shields passing the Groyne. Out of the mist the Nordic Ace dwarfed the red lighthouse and the tiny figures of the people strolling along the pier.
It was painted in oil on canvas and I applied the mist using a fine cloth to achieve the desired effect.
