Harry’s Bar

Artplace at Harry's Bar will be showing work by Keith Blackburn and Sam
Burton both of whom are inspired by similar subjects; the landscape of
their locality, cities and their inhabitants.

Keith’s
work
evidences
his
keen
observation
and
a
fascination
with
the
subtleties of colour. Sam employs loose expressive brushstrokes which
perfectly convey both the simple and complex areas of his compositions.
Some of the scenes may well be familiar, some may not but there's one
thing for sure - the distinctive styles of these artists paintings will not be
forgotten.
