ABSTRACT and expressionist art is among the work on display as part of the latest big screen exhibition in Bradford.

The ongoing Not Just Hockney presentation features the work of six local artists at a time.

It is organised by Silsden arts enthusiast Colin Neville and is shown at regular intervals on Bradford City Park’s big screen.

Mr Neville said: “The art on display on the Big Screen over the next two months can be labelled, for convenience sake, abstract or expressionist in style.

“For some people, this can be an issue as they wonder what to make of it. But I believe, particularly with abstract art, it’s a mistake to assign any real-world ‘meaning’ to it. This style of art is best experienced.

“You can respond to the colours, shapes, patterns, and texture of the work in ways you can’t always understand.”

The artists selected for the May and June exhibition are:

Terry Greene, a contemporary painter living and working near Keighley, who explores the way he interacts with the nature and properties of paint and canvas.

Ian Middleton, a Burley-in-Wharfedale-based artist who has developed a style of semi-abstract painting, combining shapes and connective lines, to create recognisable forms.

Judy Sale, a Haworth-based artist who uses a range of art media to paint predominantly abstract work, often influenced by her global travels.

Ben Snowden, who was born in Keighley and still lives locally. His drawings and paintings are influenced by the human form and landscapes.

Peter Robson, an artist who paints surreal and expressionist images to provoke questions on the politically-driven decisions of those in power.

David Wilson, director of Bradford UNESCO City of Film, which runs the big screen, said: “Abstract and expressionist art is a great theme for the new Not Just Hockney exhibition on the Big Screen for early summer.

“People visiting City Park can look forward to seeing some really bold and powerful work from local artists including Ian Middleton’s semi abstract work to Peter Robson’s surreal and expressionist images.”

The Not Just Hockney exhibition runs every day at 12.30pm.
