Year Three and Going Strong!

Wow what a year its already shaping up to be! After celebrating our 2nd birthday with Dale Bowen it's been nothing but fun and excitement in the gallery. 

First off for our third year the delightful Mary Shaw made a special appearance in April. Mary has been a firm favourite in The Little Red Gallery since we opened with her gorgeous floral landscapes, wildlife and more recently cityscapes brightening up the gallery. Most passers by will have seen one of her pieces in our window on more than one occasion so it was such a joy to have her in for a visit, to meet some adoring fans and add another signature to our wall of fame!

May saw the return of Kealey Farmer to the gallery. After last year's fantastic artist event we were all set for a day of bright colours and big smiles and Kealey did not disappoint. She brought a delightful collection of work from collections both new and old and made plenty of new friends happy with signed dedications.  

“I love colour, reflections and fluid movements, I want people to be captivated be what they see and hope to make people feel good through my art.”

Amidst the celebrations for the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta around Lincoln we had our own special celebrations courtesy of great local talent Carl Paul. Carl put on a brilliant exhibition bringing his colourful take of Lincoln's most iconic architecture providing some breathtaking original pieces and a collection of limited edition prints produced by The Little Red Gallery ourselves. We loved the  collection so much it is still up in our front room and a few pieces are still in the front window. Carl's unique perspective and ability to breathe new life into the ancient has guaranteed his place in the gallery for years to come. Drop in any time so see these wonderful pieces and support a fantastic home grown artist.

Up next on our visit artist program is Ben Jeffery. Ben was one of the first artist we stocked, his landscapes are so reminiscent of Lincolnshire countryside that we immediately fell in love with his style. A man of many talents Ben paints landscapes, moving from the realistic to the almost surreal use of colour, stunning portraits and even a touch of his automotive passions under the alias of Fleetwood. It is his landscapes that have always caught our eye and though his work has been woefully absent from the gallery for a few months it's a joy to see a few new pieces. 

We can't wait to see the front room stocked up with his newest work!
