'Though I often work on a large, potentially imposing scale, the work remains approachable through fluency of brush mark and a rich palette. The spaces the subjects inhabit are often indeterminate, providing an atmosphere that allows for ambiguity of psychological state. The subjects retain their integrity and yet a sense of intimacy is evoked'

David Tress

David Tress is an Artist working in Mixed Media Paintings, he has kindly given us permission to use some of his images.  More of his work and writings about his work can be found on his website here:  http://www.davidtress.co.uk/  Thank you David!

'Tress works into Nature, clawing into his surfaces in a mixture of media, creating a thicket of line or impasto, removing it, retreating, beneath mobile, airy skies. His practice is only marginally less intuitive than Joan Eardley's in Aberdeenshire, in sunlight or under snow, where the fickle weather, hot or cold, was at the core of the work.

Induction 2011

On Friday 1^st July we had induction sessions for lots of potential new Art Students.  We talked them through the ethos of the course and explained the emphasis is ‘thinking outside the box’.  We set them a task – in pairs to look at the images of sculptures and recreate them using newspaper, masking tape and cardboard.  We stressed how it is important to sometimes feel uncomfortable with what you are doing in Art, as if you are being challenged with new ideas and techniques, you are learning!

We gave them the following Artists:



(Henry Moore, Santiago Calatrava 'HSBC Turning Torso, Gaudi 'Sagrada Familia', Alberto Giacometti, Frank Gehry 'Dancing House', Barbara Hepworth 'Family of Man', Antony Gormley 'Angel of the North', Eduardo Paolozzi 'The Philosopher', Elisabeth Frink, Sophie Ryder)


The Sculptors in action!

Here are their interpretations:

Elisabeth Frink: 

A Family of Barbara Hepworths'

A Pair of Sophie Ryders'

A Couple of Henry Moores'

Gaudi's Familia Sagrada:



Giacometti's

Frank Gehry's 'Dancing House'

Calatrava's Turning Torso:

And last but not least, a whole lot of Angel's of the North!
