| 10th January 2010 | Happy 2010! We are not letting January give us the blues at the Hatfield Hines Gallery; we are starting the year with a new exhibition called Seascapes. Designed to give some new inspiration for the new year and a contrast to the current bleak beaches of North Norfolk, it includes works of rivers, lakes and seas from the 1920s to the present day. It includes an interesting new oil by Hamish Lawrie (1919-1987) - an artist who sold his first painting in 1941 for £5 to..Dylan Thomas. The show also includes seascapes by Gilia Florentin-Lee and controlled compositions by Frank Beanland. We look forward to seeing you in 2010 and hope any of you visiting in January enjoy the show. |
| 10th November 2009 | As a slight diversion from our usual collection, the gallery is showing work by new and emerging artists through November and December. We have selected work by several local artists who display great talent and feel that it is timely to celebrate their emerging potential. All of the artists displayed demonstrate a creative energy. Our exhibition will give an insight into their work and will provide the opportunity to secure quality artwork at affordable prices; what better Christmas present than an original artwork by potentially the next big name in the art world! We hope that visitors to the gallery will agree that the selected artists show flair and an element of originality that will ensure their work appreciates and endures and promises future success and recognition.

| 25th September 2009 | Figurative art has been dominating the gallery with the current exhibition showing a wide range of work contrasting the use of the human form. From well known and collected names such as Roy Turner Durrant through to late 20th century work by Gerald Meares and Flora Wood the gallery has been crammed with figures. The re-hanging will start again next week as we prepare Octobers show of marine artist Gordon Hales work. A member of the RSMA and the Wapping Group, Gordon Hales evocative scenes of the Thames and other London landmarks are always popular with anyone familiar with the London waterways. With a particular interest in lighting, some of his most appealing paintings show London landmarks at night, including the Royal Exchange and The Thames at dusk.

| 18th July 2009 | A set of lithographs by HRH The Prince of Wales will feature in our summer exhibition of British Landscape paintings during August, 2009. We are extremely pleased to be able to show these works, which bring to life a personal view of the Prince's own beloved landscapes across the UK. In tandem with the exhibition we are running a children's art competition. Inspired by the Prince's work 'My Special Place' will encourage aspiring artists - up to age 14 - to explore and celebrate their own environment and paint or draw a picture to show what is special to them about it. Winning entries will be exhibited in the gallery and the overall winner will be presented with a set of professional quality art materials so invite any young artists that you know to join in. Competition entry forms are available here. The closing date for entries is Saturday 22nd August, 2009. All works appearing in the exhibition will be available for sale. Sales of all of HRH The Prince of Wales's signed lithographs benefit The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation. During the exhibition, a proportion of sales of the work of other artists featured will also be donated to The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation, giving even more reason to come along and add to your collection. The exhibition, which also features work by Paul Maze, Frank Beanland and Arthur Knighton-Hammond will run from Saturday 1st August to Saturday 29th August with our usual opening hours. We hope you can visit. |
