The Shambles Market seen from Newgate, York - an A4 print on paper taken from an original pastel by York Artist Joe Gill
Joe has captured an atmospheric scene of the Shambles Market at dusk, viewed from the ancient cobbled street of Newgate in York city centre.
The stoneway track and cobbled setts for horse-drawn vehicles are still in place on Newgate. Our own Mark Braithwaite has a studio in the building on the left!
About the artist: York born artist Joe Gill recently returned to the north after graduating from an Illustration degree at the University of Brighton.
Joe brought some of his prints and originals to show us, and we knew straight away that his work would be a great fit to the portfolio of artists here at The Braithwaite Gallery.
We loved his rich colour palette of soft pastels, reminiscent of the moody nocturnal urban landscapes of Victorian artist John Atkinson Grimshaw. Joe captures both the atmosphere of the location, full of history and personality, as well as a realistic landscape drawn with the skill of a draughtsman.
