Artist of the Week - Tony Broadbent

Artist of the Week - Tony Broadbent

Abstract S.21 by Tony Broadbent

Painting for 46 years, Tony Broadbent is self-taught. No practising as a semi-professional artist, his work is widely collected and sought after. Tony is one of our longest-standing artists and never fails to please and surprise with his series works, one of the latest of which can be seen above.
Tony says:
"Primarily I'm interested in colour and form as well as the abstract, representation of theme and/or angst. 
My larger pieces do command significant prices and reflect the work involved, committment to maintain standards and parity with works already sold to the private Collector.

Large or small commissions accepted, co-orporate work always welcome as well as assistance in providing/planning towards thematic exhibitions or constructs."

' Art is in the mind, I just, set the mood '

Showery Day, St Andrews by Angela Arnold

 Showery Day, St Andrews is a 'mood picture' by Angela Arnold. It depicts a small separate beach just south of the West Sands in St Andrews. Angela is a professional artist working from her studio on coastal Kinneff in Aberdeenshire. Angela will be participating in North east open Studios again this year. Details can be found on the NEOS website. (Google "NEOS").

Angela says:

"In my paintings I try to capture both stillness and motion (often linked with the emotion evoked) – and maybe these are not so much opposites as two sides of the same coin, seeking the core of the subject. I also produce vibrant abstracts and most recently I have been experimenting with stark bl/wh, rather minimalist, painting.

A lot of my work is done in acrylic on board, rather than on canvas, calling for a different kind of technique. I have developed a method of mounting board on an integral frame and the finished product looks like a box canvas, with painted sides, ready to hang - or to frame, if you wish. You will find my paintings work especially well in larger/modern rooms, with a bit of distance and space."

Artist of the Week - Jeannie Zelos

This week we have Jeannie Zelos as our Artist of the Week. Jeannie was born and still live in North Norfolk where beautiful scenery full of traditional woodlands, vast beaches and huge skies provide endless inspiration for her varied work. 

Jeannie says: 

"I've been painting for a number of years now and extending my repertoire of materials as time progresses and I delve further into the world of art.I describe my style as naive, and myself as a Colourist. My work has very vibrant colour ranges, often not what you would expect but it works!
Art can be a solitary pursuit and since 2006 I've been running a free arts forum for artists and people interested in art, just type my name and forum into google and you'll find it. I've learned so much from other artists there, and hopefully we have all benefited from contact with others.
I paint in a variety of mediums from watercolours through to encaustic, a method used over 2,000 years ago. For me art is a journey and by not restricting myself to one media I have the freedom to take my art to a range of possibilities. Over the last few years I have extended my experience via personal study and professional tuition and now use watercolours, soft pastels, oil pastels, acrylics, oils, and latest is the encaustic (beeswax) paints. With the encaustics I seek to reach the very essence of the subject through pure abstraction, and find that the beeswax - maybe because its such an organic material- works really well for this."
