Artist of the Week - Rob Soar


Artist of the Week - Rob Soar
"Spurn Point Lighthouse" by Rob Soar

Rob Soar is our current Artist of the week....Rob is a contemporaray artist who lives and works from his studio in the East riding of Yorkshire. His paintings depict scenes, real and imaginary, in his own unique and wacky style.
Rob has a wonderfully colourful, wide variety of work in his gallery at Affordable British Art....so much so, that I had difficulty in deciding which one to choose for this blog entry, so I "copped-out" and chose the first one in his gallery. Rob's work is fast becoming very collectable and he often works to commission as well as producing his own unique work. Being so bright and colourful, his paintings brighten up the darkest day.

Artist of the Week - Rachel McCullock

Artist of the Week - Rachel McCullock
"Icelandic Poppies" by Rachel McCullock

This week, we have had Rachel McCullock as our Artist of the Week.
Rachel says:
"I started to paint simply for pleasure and very rapidly to my surprise and delight, my work generated a great deal of interest. This inspired me to experiment with innovative techniques and mixed media to develop my own style. I aim to create bold, vibrant, emotive and energetic canvases. The paintings range from representational images to textural abstracts, from wildlife to majestic coastal scenes with a great deal in between. I like to think that the use of striking colour is the defining indicator of my work.”

Rachel has participated in many exhibitions throughout the UK to wide acclaim; and has been published on calendars and Christmas and greetings cards. She is regularly invited to exhibit at the Artshed Gallery in Ware, Hertfordshire. Recently her work has been displayed at the Picturecraft Gallery, Holt, Norfolk. Rachel paints both for exhibition and by private and public commission.
Her latest large -scale commission is for the recently completed Child Protection Unit of the Lister Hospital , Stevenage, Hertfordshire where she will provide her unique style modern paintings to be hung in all its rooms, helping to create a sympathetic and appropriate atmosphere."

"My work is eye-catching & bold. Vibrant flowers in oils and acrylics will make a statement in any room. I am fascinated by the colours , shapes and folds in the flowers. I paint around the sides of the deep edge canvases so they are ready to hang.
