"IN OUR BACK YARD"
by Yvonne Davies LRPS


This exhibition featured the work of Newcastle College final year student Yvonne Davies. Her exhibit was a collection of photographs representing the work of foresters and woodmen in our Northumbrian forests. The images showed timber cropping operations around the Cheviot Hills, Kielder Forest and Chatton along with a beautiful heavy horse team working near Cambo.

"AUTUMN IN NEW YORK" by SPECULAR

An exhibition that featured contemporary architectural imagery mixed with edgy street style photography to display the contrast between the informal and familiar, the frenetic and free side of life in the world’s most Famous City.

It featured the work of Specular, aka Chris Davis. Specular was set up in 2007 as a platform to exhibit the wide variety of media Chris works in. Specular produces artwork / design and photography for personal projects and exhibitions with clients here in the UK and in New York.

“Digital art, photography and other media have been my passion for years now. I have grown up around artists and like to surround myself with creative people. I draw inspiration from a wide range of media, including music, film, paintings, photography and most importantly people themselves.

         

CHRIS WEBB

CHRIS WEBB, winner of our photo competition,
exhibited a selection of his work throughout February.

Chris Webb’s winning image of Steetley Magnesite, a partly demolished chemical works in Hartlepool,
was one of a diverse selection of his landscapes on display at the gallery.

The winning image was one of hundreds entered into the competition and caught the eye of renowned
Landscape Photographer Joe Cornish, who judged the competition.

This is what Joe has to say about the winning image:

“Chris Webb's panoramic photograph of a bleak industrial landscape is a brilliant enigma. These ruined industrial installations should ordinarily repel us with their desolation and signals of failure, unemployment and environmental degradation. Yet here we are compelled to look, and to look again; and I even find myself wanting to witness this place myself! So how's it done? A calm pearlescent light, tuned by the unifying effect of monochrome photography draws us in. A cool, precise, 'architectonic' composition engages us, countering the random details and decay. The hint of a neo-classical arcade in the distance, a chimney, connects us to the monumental architecture of ancient Greece. The subject matter should by any normal account be 'bad' and 'ugly', yet this picture is so 'good' that our expectations are confounded. It perfectly fulfills the challenge set by the competition, 'The Good, Bad and the Ugly'."
