St Williams' College, York - an original pastel on A5 paper by York Artist Joe Gill
Joe has captured an atmospheric scene of the ancient buildings on College Street, a tranquil spot at the East End of York Minster. Here, St William's College is seen at dusk, the burnt umber evening light set beautifully against the cobbles and historic architecture of York city centre.
The artwork is accompanied Certificate of Authenticity which has been hand signed by the artist.
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.
nb the paper has been hand trimmed by the artist so is not exactly A5
Pastel artwork is very fragile. The drawing has been fixed with Windsor & Newton Pastel Fixative, however care is required when handling to avoid smudging.
