SUMMARY:Corke Gallery: Corke Art Gallery: Portraits Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Corke Art Gallery: Portraits Exhibition\n\nPeter Philip is rep
 resentational painter working mainly in oils who depicts subjects that are
  part of everyday life. Inspired by traditional classical paintings he pai
 nts contemporary subjects firmly establishing his compositions in the pres
 ent day.\n\nClifford Sayer has always focussed on the figurative \, very 
 much influenced by Carravagio\, Velasquez\, El Greco\, Picasso\, Degas\, M
 anet and Freud. In 2010 Clifford started the ‘Literalist’ painting mov
 ement\, emphasising the meaning of painting for paintings sake\, thereby t
 he term 'Literalism' was born. This latest series of paintings celebrate n
 atural light and form in a fresh and immediate style that\n\nJohn Vesty c
 elebrates the nude in an impressionistic style\, touches of humour and som
 e almost presented like slabs of bare flesh which resulted in the original
  exhibition of 21 paintings being banned because ‘council staff’ found
  it offensive because it featured older ladies naked or wearing just a hat
 !  It’s hard to believe but it was in Cromer in Norfolk – see the pre
 ss report in the Telegraph at https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/795
 3429/Can-a-modest-nude-really-be-that-offensive.html - ‘Partial View’
  the painting pictured in the press article is actually in the show and av
 ailable for sale.\n\nSimon Adam Yorke paints hyper-realistic portraits. 
  In the Portraits show I have included his latest series ‘Bodhisattva’
 \, featuring portraits created using traditional methods of ink painting\,
  of people from all religions who have/had dedicated their lives to develo
 ping compassion.  Also in the show  are a collection of eight hyper-real
 istic paintings featuring holy people Simon met whilst in the Himalayas du
 ring a 5 month pilgrimage as well as three of his large scale ‘Nomad’ 
 series portraits of people who are homeless.  These have previously been 
 exhibited across the country to raise money for homeless charities and hos
 tels including the Royal Chapel at the Tower of London\, Liverpool Cathedr
 al\, Sunderland Minster\, and across St. Helens.
