JFS (Works forYou)This is a joint exhibition of recent paintings by June Lornie, Frank Hendry and Stan Cummings - Works for You. The Exhibition is open Monday to Friday between 12 and 4 pm until the 5th June. Below are some sample images from the exhibition. Just click on the image to see it full size in our viewer. June Lornie As a child June was known as 'Sizzy Lizzie". Other children used pencil and crayons but she would only use scissors - cutting out the shapes she wanted – they ended up as the main tools of her trade. She worked for many years as a theatrical costumiere making clothes for many Merseyside theatre and cabaret performers as well as TV and cabaret stars such as Les Dennis, Bob Carolgees, Stuart Hall, Gary Glitter and even boxer Prince Naseem . Allan Johnstone of Liverpool Exhaust Supplies with the sculptor Arthur Dooley opened the Liverpool Academy of Arts in 1988 where June helped with the first few exhibitions and then took over the running of the gallery a year later. She loves bright colours, textures, gold leaf, diamante etc. all of which go back to her Show Business experiences. She adds acrylic and pastel to bring the works together in what she always calls pastiche. )

He has concentrated several of his works on his personal experiences of the City and the Luftwaffe wartime bombing raids, which caused destruction to the docks and shipping. Some of these are on display in this exhibition. He was especially commissioned by an RAF bomber pilot, who was involved in the attack on the German pocket battleship in St. Lazaire, in which he was shot down, baled out and made a prisoner of war. Frank has exhibited in both the City’s cathedrals, and in many galleries in the North West and in Eire, his paintings being distributed world-wide. )

As a glass-blower he sold his work all around Merseyside, and towards the end of his career his glass sculptures were taken up by many visitors to Liverpool and are now in countries around the world. Since his retirement he has been able to paint full time. The works on display in this exhibition are a response to a recent visit to Canada and the landscape principally around Ontario. )
