Red Rag Gallery is participating in the inaugural Devon Art Fair which takes place at the Riviera International Conference Centre, in Torquay from 30 September. In addition to Red Rag many galleries from around the UK and Europe will be showing an eclectic mix of fine, modern and contemporary artworks for visitors to the fair to admire and purchase.



Literally hundreds of artists will be represented at the fair with many instantly recognisable names sharing wall space with professional artists, recent graduates and self taught individuals. Show visitors to Red Rag will be able to see work from British artists: David Barnes , Stephen Brown , David Eustace , Donald Provan , Paul Robinson and Nicola Wakeling .


Prices of art for sale at the Art Fair will range from £75 to tens of thousands of pounds and with painting, drawing, sculpture, glass and ceramics all on display the event should appeal to the most avid and discerning collector as much as the novice first time buyer.

Jack Vettriano



Red Rag have announced that another famous name has been added to the growing Limited Edition Print series with the inclusion of art prints from famed Scottish artist Jack Vettriano . Born in Fife in 1951, Jack Vettriano started paintings when he was 21 when a girlfriend gave him a set of watercolour paints.



In 1989, Jack Vettriano submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy's annual exhibition; both were accepted and sold on the first day. The following year, an equally enthusiastic reaction greeted the three paintings, which he entered for the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London. Since then interest in Vettriano's work has grown consistently with several sell-out solo exhibitions over the past twenty years in Edinburgh, London, Hong Kong and New York.



Today Jack Vettriano’s paintings and limited edition prints are eagerly sought after. All Jack Vettriano limited edition prints from Red Rag Art Gallery have been reviewed by the artist


Red Rag are promoting a number of art prints from Jack Vettriano including Bluebird at Bonneville , Pendine Beach and Birth of a Dream which were produced from a series of paintings inspired by the life of Sir Malcolm Campbell.
