Our current exhibition features oil paintings by Mike Skidmore and sculptures by Judy Brown made from recycled tin cans.
Mike is a professional artist working from his studio in Ross on Wye. His work is eclectic, ranging from traditional and contemporary still life to wildlife and the occasional surreal composition. He also paints people and animal portraits to commission.
Oil paint is his preferred medium due to its fluidity, variation in textures and opportunities to experiment on each artwork.
Driven by his imagination, Mike chooses not to be locked into a specific genre. By following this approach, his ideas remain fresh and stimulating whilst presenting new challenges. There is often a narrative within the imagery and sometimes a touch of humour.
Recently he has begun working with oil paint on recycled wood and furniture, having spent many hours developing the technique.
He has exhibited at numerous galleries throughout the UK and his work is collected in Europe, the US and Australia.
Earlier in 2021, Mike published his first dystopian / sci-fi novel, The Grey Loop, and is currently writing a sequel.
Mike also runs online courses and workshops on portrait and still life painting in oils.
