I N T H E N E W S Original art showcase LEADING SUTTON COLDFIELD GALLERY ARTIFEX HAVE INTRODUCED A NEW COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL ART TO THEIR OFFERINGS Artifex Gallery have been trading for more than 27 years under the ownership of Nigel Bates and Ross Fenn, and are considered to be the leading gallery in the Midlands for original art and crafts. The 3,000 square foot gallery, based at Mitchells Shopping in Sutton Coldfield, is home to an eclectic range of works, from handmade glass, ceramics, jewellery and bespoke furniture, to a superb range of original 21st century paintings. And now Artifex have strengthened their commitment to providing the best of original British art by increasing their works to include earlier offerings. Partner Ross Fenn says: “Over the last few years many of our customers have requested that we expand the range of our paintings to include earlier works from the 19th and 20th century. “Consequently, using both my personal knowledge of the art market and in collaboration with an art consultant, I have spent the last 18 months sourcing what I believe to be an exciting collection of original paintings, dating from the mid-19th century to the late 20th. “Both Nigel and I are really looking forward to launching this new venture, which will offer an even broader selection of paintings, both to our existing as well as to customers. I would emphasise that the ARTIFEX CO-OWNER ROSS FENN new venture is an addition to our current offering and does not signify a change of direction for the gallery.” The first floor is dedicated to original paintings, and visitors can peruse works from around 18 artists at any one time, with an exhibition programme focusing on more substantial one-person shows. “The art market is now strengthening after a fairly quiet period and as well as offering the chance to own a beautiful original painting, your purchase might also make a sound investment,” Ross adds. SPOTLIGHT ON ART Tom Malone (British 1913-1986) ‘Landscape with Road’ Oil on board 39 x 50.5cm (15¼ x 19¾ in.) Ross says: “I love the beauty and simplicity of this painting by Tom Malone, especially the way in which your eye is drawn to the distant horizon and leads me to imagine what wonders lie at the end of the road. It conveys peace and tranquillity which is priceless in these difficult times and gives me hope of better things to come.” Tom Malone (1913-1986) was an accomplished painter originally from Warrington. Despite being employed as Chief Inspector of Weights and Measures in Salford, he was always involved in the art scene of Manchester, being friends with artists L.S.Lowry and Ted Finley. He was often found painting on the weekends, his subjects ranging from landscapes to portraits. His art style was influenced by the fauvist movement, which confers to his works a very painterly and textured quality, present even in the more traditional oil portraits. 60 www.jaimemagazine.com
