Brian Sinfield Art Gallery
Just In
Andrew Hemingway
Andrew Hemingway works in pastel, producing images of remarkable precision and depth. He is probably one of the most important still life artists working in pastel today. Because of the intense concentration needed with this kind of work his output is small and consequently his paintings rare.
Born in Yorkshire, he attended the Barnsley School of Art and took a degree in Fine Art and the History of Art at Camberwell. He exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy and his work can be found in private
collections, world wide including Italy, New York, Australia, South Africa, London, Hamburg, Japan and Holland.
This Gallery has represented Andrew Hemingway since 1990.

Exhibition
William Balthazar Rose 29 June 2019 - 20 July 2019
A New Exhibition! - 'Celebration of the Cupcake'
There is something darkly medieval yet dreamlike in William Rose’s paintings, but there is also humour. Rose uses and adapts the work of other artists of the past - Picasso, Balthus, Morandi, Cezanne and Titian to fill his compositions and then injects them with his own brand of mystery. Each painting is rich with symbolism, each has a narrative, often frightening but never dull.
Rose says of his celebrated series ‘Cooks’, “These paintings are humorous and at times terrifying. I introduce the cook as the tragic-comic hero and demagogue though he is often all too brutally human”. They reflect our current obsession with celebrity. Of the ever-popular cupcake, which William has introduced into a number of his cook paintings, he says: “I sometimes think of a cupcake as merely a cupcake or sometimes, perhaps, as a symbol of the heart”. In his series, ‘Carnivals of Night’, William’s paintings are immensely powerful with images that appear to be dragged from the turmoil of ancient Europe. In addition to these, and almost as a counterbalance, William's still lives are imbued with a quiet beauty. Brian Sinfield
