John Bellany

Colourful exhibition at Flowers of work from throughout the career of John Bellany, a contemporary artist who died in 2013.

These were big bold works many of them influenced by his childhood in a seafaring community. I loved “Silver Crest II” off two fishing boats in a harbour. Some of the works were more symbolic.

My favourite, shown here, “Still Life With Mexican Vase” from 1996 was a large still life, at a metre and a half long, and full of colour and interest.

Closes 27 August 2022
