Latest work from Lin Taylor, one of the artists appearing at St Michael le Belfrey this coming weekend. 

 

Lin is an extremely versatile artist who turns her hand to many styles and subjects, but favours landscapes in watercolour or pen & wash.  Accompanying husband Ron on his global bird spotting tours, Lin has recently taken up painting avian subjects  in acrylics on feathers - as seen in the example above.  A number of works from this popular series was recently exhibited at Mermaid and Miller in Swinegate, York.

You can see other work by Lin here and here

Warrior

Work acquired by Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Seizure at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

 

In 2008, contemporary artist Roger Hiorns oversaw the creation of one of most unique works of art in recent memory by pumping over 74,000 litres of copper sulphate solution into a condemned London flat. The result saw the building’s interior coated with otherworldly blue crystals that formed on the walls, floor, ceiling, and even a bathtub.
