nature between nature and language"

Davids main motto for his work and his life is

Studio 6

The Admiral Lord Rodney showcased the work of this fantastic group of local artists

Lor Catteral

Local artist Lor Catteral was the last artist given the chance of showing his work at the Admiral Lord Rodney pub in Colne. His work included a large range of abstracts and portraits featuring many local subjects.

John Corcoran

Renowned international artist John Corcoran, well known for his spectacular landscapes, exhibited his work at the Rodney in January.
In recent months, ‘The Rodney’ had shown the works of many local artists, probably  none so well known than John

‘I couldn’t believe John Corcoran agreed to it. His work is so well known’. Steve said ‘I haven’t spoken to anyone who is not familiar with his John’s work.’
All the pictures that were shownwere original and  included styles not normally associated with this much loved local artist.

The Pedalling Painter

Following the success of the ‘Drop in the Notion’ exhibition at the Rodney, the pub was pleased to reveal Malcolm Redford who showed his many pieces of work titled ‘The Pedalling Painter’ in December until the new-year.

Malcolm was born in North London and brought up in rural Hertfordshire. He now finds his inspiration in the hills, wild landscapes and some of the industrial townscapes of his adopted home on the Lancashire/ Yorkshire border.

A Drop in the Notion

This visual arts group, formed two years ago, includes Geoff Brindle, Peter Catlow, Edwin Thornber and Barry Salmon. The group has had several successful shows locally and have deliberately chosen this “alternative” venue, to break out of the typical format of art exhibitions.

PETER CATLOW is a well - known local painter, having won the famed “Pendle in Paint” competition no less than five times. Peter’s work features pioneering watercolour techniques and varied subject matter, all presented in his unique style. He catches the shifting images of time and perception, with a rare degree of psychological insight.

GEOFF BRINDLE trained at the Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford, and is primarily known for his complex surrealist pictures, which featured in a large, one – man retrospective at the Haworth Gallery, Accrington, last year. The paintings in this show are deliberately decorative, but still toy with visionary concepts.

BARRY SALMON is an artist who experiments with a range of painting mediums and techniques. His current work is influenced by fauvism, abstract expressionism and impressionism. These paintings are painted onto a traditional Gesso ground with a limited pattern of colour. The images emerge from layers of paint executed over a period of time to produce raw, but fragile, images that explore man’s relationship with his environment.
