A Joint exhibition of recent works by Nathan and Anthony Pendlebury

Nathan Pendlebury is son to Anthony. Nathan studied Fine Art at Warrington Collegiate Institute and also at Liverpool John Moores University. He grew up in the North-West of England in Chester, Salford, Manchester, and Warrington. Nathan lives and currently works full-time for National Museums Liverpool, he also has a studio space in 'Redwire Studios' in Liverpool City Centre.

Nathan had this to say about his art:

"My painting, drawing and photography relates to the presence of man within an urban environment, producing associations without being direct in representational or figurative terms. I like to use a variety of materials in my drawings and paintings, such as charcoal, graphite, ink, acrylic and aerosol paint. I also experiment with photography. The photographs tend to be abstract like my paintings, and I try to approach them as I do my paintings, in both subject matter and image construction."

Anthony Pendlebury is father to Nathan. He studied art in the 60's, at Bolton Art School, near to where he grew up in Salford (near Manchester). Since then he has worked in and around the North West in various non-art related positions. He is now retired and based in Cumbria, The Lake District.

Tony had this to say about his art:

"I am primarily concerned with producing original paintings on canvas and paper. My paintings look toward the human condition taking influences from the likes of Miro, Picasso, Corazon and Basquiat.

I don't like to stand still with my painting and am always striving toward new things to do and experiment with in my image making. I hope that my paintings offer texture, mood, and a sense of aesthetic through graphic mark making. I try to make my ever growing portfolio diverse, and the work I produce can vary from one piece to the next."

The exhibition will open Monday to Friday between 12 and 4 pm from Monday 24th September until Friday 5th October.   For details on how to get there see How to Find Us
