Rolf Harris - New Collection available at the Gallery in May

Creative Art Gallery are excited to announce that we will be introducing Rolf Harris's artwork to the gallery over the next couple of weeks.

Rolf has always loved art - even before he went to Primary School, whenever anyone asked him "What are you going to be when you grow up?" his immediate response was "An artist!".
After leaving school he enrolled at the City & Guilds Art School in London witn the intention of following in his grandfather's footsteps as a portrait artist. However after a chance meeting with the Australian impressionist painter 'Bill' Hayward Veal, he began attending an art course run by Veal and soon became his protégé.

In the mid 50's Rolf became a household name following his television and stage performances. Rolf's BBC television series Rolf on Art achieved the highest television ratings ever for a UK arts programme. Rolf hosted television's biggest ever Arts event with a live BBC special titled Rolf on Art: The Big Event, in which he joined the public in recreating a large-scale version of Constable's 'Haywain' in Trafalgar Square. The massive event was such a huge success that the BBC staged two further Rolf on Art: The Big Event specials in Edinburgh and London. In recent years Rolf has devoted more time to painting and has had a number of one-man shows, including the Rolf on Art exhibition at the National Gallery.

Homeward Bound - Rebecca Lardner

Homeward Bound is the quirky new collection from Rebecca Lardner one of the South West's most admired artists. A timeless subject matter and gentle humour give her pieces a singular charm and their marine element is accentuated by the distinctive palette that never strays far from the ocean.
Rebecca was born in Swanage, Dorset in 1971. After completing an Art Foundation Course she graduated from the University of Liverpool with a BA Honours degree in illustration. She went on to build a highly successful career as an artist and illustrator fulfilling commisions for a number of high profile clients including Paul McCartney's Music Academy, as well as a range of magazines and record sleeves.

Atlantic - Duncan MacGregor

Come in and view our latest exhibition 'Atlantic' by Duncan MacGregor on show in the gallery until 19th April.

Leading Marine aritst and oceanic adventurer MacGregor explores the natural beauty of the British Coastline. An experienced and intrepid sailor, he creates exhilarating contemporary interpretations which demonstrate his first hand experience of the elements with great spontaneity, high-octane energy and considerable technical panache.

In this stunning new collection MacGregor explores the juxtaposition of ocean and shoreline and brings the varied textures of the natural world into sharp relief. From the rough surfaces and contrasting blues of a choppy ocean to the gentle silken swathes of champagne coloured skies, his unerring eye presents us with a fascinating series that gives expression to the many faces of the sea.
