Mike Knowles at Dean Clough

Mike Knowles Exhibition at Dean Clough
theArtGallery.co.uk is pleased to announce an exhibition of Mike Knowles' work will be held at Dean Clough Gallery in Halifax between 9th October 2010 to 9th Jan 2011.
Private View to be held on Saturday 9th October 2010 from 12 noon to 2.00pm. Drinks will be served. All welcome.

Knowles' landscapes, with their carefully mapped northern skies and dancing trees, offer a subtle, anthropomorphic quality that is both quietly unique and profoundly satisfying. Born in Warrington in 1941, he trained at the Slade (where he was variously influenced by the likes of Kossoff, Auerbach and Uglow) and was for many years the Head of Fine Art at Liverpool College. For most of his adult life he has lived in North Wales and the fifty works here range from the huge oils that characterised the first phase of his practice to more recent, but only marginally smaller, watercolours. Our thanks to Lynne Green and Jake Attree who assisted with the selection.
