The current show at Red Rag Gallery in Stow on the Wold features new paintings from three British artists with a reputation for creating compelling paintings of quirky figures. The artists appearing in the show titled ‘Characters’ are: David Eustace and Scottish artists - Joe Hargan and Joe Hargan.
David Eustace was born in 1950. He completed a degree course in Fine Art at Exeter College of Art. David Eustace observes the everyday world around him but presents it with an individual style and viewpoint. Subjects are sometimes dislocated from their surroundings or hover lending an air of mystery. There is a three-dimensional dream-like quality to his contemporary art.
Joe Hargan was born in Glasgow and studied at the Glasgow School of Art. He has exhibited paintings since the early 1970's at: the Royal Glasgow Institute of Art; Royal Society of Watercolors; Royal Scottish Academy of Art; The Paisley Art Institute; Royal Academy, London; Dick Institute, Kilmarnock; British Watercolour Society & National Portrait Gallery. In 1996 for the quality of his paintings and his service to Scottish art Joe Hargan was awarded the Paisley Art Institute diploma.
Alan King was born in Scotland in 1946. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art. Alan King is best known for his paintings which feature the Red Hat and this continues to be a major theme to his contemporary paintings. King’s skill in storytelling and a love of early Italian Art are the roots of the development of his fine paintings. He creates images which are visually compelling and which form a bond with the viewer.
The ‘Charatcters’ art show continues until 12 June. The gallery is open every day from 10:00
