Northern Soul

Northern Soul grew out of a long fascination with the personality of places I've come to know across the North and the stories connected with them. The paintings and prints in this exhibition represent a journey of 45 years living in the North. As it says in the exhibition’s accompanying book this is
“the log of a long, as yet unfinished, journey, and a love letter to the North of England. It’s about the places I’ve known and painted, and what part they play in this complex, careworn, mountainous, multifaceted, wave-tossed, warm-welcoming, windblown, freezing, friendly, tough spirited, tender hearted, rusty, rebellious, ruinous, green, golden, chilled-out, challenging, deep-rooted, dale-scattered, subtle, smoky, special land.“
