tzijlstra Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I like Sean Williams stuff http://embassytheatreskegness.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/621/ That is really nice. I need to get into the Sheffield art-scene, still stuck in the North Netherlands scene but looking at the stuff by Sean Williams is a bit of a revelation.

Nagel Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Some nice choices there Nagel, why isn't Harry Epworth Allen more well known locally? I'm glad you like his work. I have no idea why he isn't better known locally. There's one of his paintings on permanent display in the Graves Gallery, this one, which is easily recognisable as the countryside near Foolow - http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/derbyshire-walls-72247 I found out about him by going into a gallery in Rowsley which was holding an exhibition of his work. I didn't go there to see the exhibition, just dropped in and was bowled over by his paintings. He's a respected artist and his paintings fetch a good price. Apparently the Duke of Devonshire is a fan and has bought a number of his works. Harry Epworth Allen cropped up in Antiques Roadshow earlier this year where a couple of his Irish paintings were discovered and valued at £7,000 each. Here's the clip on YouTube: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoad Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 I was surprised to find out that he was born only two roads away from where I grew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I was surprised to find out that he was born only two roads away from where I grew up. I was surprised to find out that he lived and worked most of his life on the same road I live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
