Kirkbymoorside artist Jim Wright - exhibition 5 - 12 March
Jim Wright will be showing his latest paintings at his studio gallery in Kirkbymoorside from 5th to 12th March, it’s an opportunity to see his new works, before they are sent to galleries across the North of England.
The work of landscape and seascape artist Jim Wright is all about atmosphere and emotion. His favourite haunts are the moors, mountains and coastal regions, where he can really feel the full force of nature and soak up the energy of the place.
Last autumn he travelled from his home in Kirkbymoorside, to stay at The Lighthouse in Ardnamurchan, it’s the most westerly point of mainland Britain, and experiences some wild and tempestuous storms, perfect conditions for an artist inspired by light and movement. Many artists have been inspired by the quality of the light in Cornwall, the West coast of Scotland also offers this clear unpolluted light, with the additional benefits of a little more solitude. This exhibition will feature paintings done on location and inspired by his journey to the Lighthouse, alongside his paintings of The North York Moors and the sea.
Jim Wright spends so much time away on the moors and at the coast, that in Kirkbymoorside, he is probably better known as a singer and guitarist on the music scene, than as an artist. He began playing soul music with members of Kirkbymoorside Town Brass Band at annual charity 'Big Night Out' gigs, which led onto the formation of the band 'Late in the Day'. If you pass the door, when he's painting at home, you may be able to hear a classic soul number, as he always works to music.
The week long exhibition is open daily from 11am to 4pm, at 53 West End, Kirkbymoorside. Further information can be found on Jim's website.

Current Exhibition: Chris Ware
Chris Ware has a secret. The country's only professional Artist in Residence on a heritage railway sometimes deserts the precision of railway art for the world of flowing colour without a train in sight. Loved landscapes describing, in watercolour, emotion and form are, for this Kirkbymoorside painter, 'Along Different Lines'.
Come and see Chris at the Arts Centre every Sunday working on his 'Turner' painting - for more details watch the video.
Tue 27 Oct - Fri 20 Nov - Helmsley Arts Centre, North Yorkshire
