EXHIBITION: The Wayfarer

An Exhibition of Oil Paintings by Luke Thompson 

​

Emerging artist Luke Thompson, a representational oil painter, who recently relocated from

Wakefield to Settle, is set to bring his unique artistic vision to the heart of North Yorkshire

this month, as he moves into a new studio space at Craven Arts House.

Luke, 30, a rising talent in contemporary painting, will be exhibiting his work for the first

time at Craven Arts this September. Luke Thompson’s artwork is noted for its captivating

realism, seen through a romantic lens. His subtle but expressive brushwork captures the

intricate beauty of nature with a remarkable sensitivity, balancing truth and emotion on canvas.

His work has already begun to garner attention for its ability to evoke powerful feelings through understated detail, making him one to watch in the art world.

EXHIBITION: common ground

Opening Event: Friday 18th October, 5-8pm, All Welcome

​

This exhibition is from two groups of textile artists, Gathered Threads and Textilia 3.  We have

all produced new work to the same theme – ‘common ground’ – but have interpreted it in

our own ways, both as the two groups, and as individual artists.

Textilia 3 have used pieces from a single blanket as the common background for their separate

framed pieces; Gathered Threads’ larger scale works, comes from our common background

as students together.

​

Despite our different outcomes, the works started from similar inspirations; shared spaces,

loves, histories and humanities.

​

Open Wednesday - Saturday 11am to 4pm between 16th October and 9th November. Entry is free.
