Jocelyn Breton…
I studied fine arts in London taught art classes in schools and ran art workshops in the past. I'm now living in Normandy I have an art studio. In my paintings or drawings I develop my ideas from 2 aspects : an adaptation from nature or places. I try to transmit a message, or an idea often about concerns which are important to me like social, ecological or historical or I simply use landscapes and my surrounding to convey an emotion skills, techniques and of course colours to obtain a result I feel happy with.

Jean François Peslot works on three axes: lights, colours and materials. He likes to differentiate materials in order to obtain the chosen colour. By using different materials this gives various effects, the paint is illusion.. He says " Put colour in your head to make life dancing!"

Marie-Claude Groussard Is a certified contemporary jewellery designer and a member of UBAC in Condé ( fine arts artists group). She works on the themes of the body and the soul with clay, charcoal and water for her paintings as well as her little sculptures, she was first inspired by Africa, she is now developing recessed and weathered shapes of the body evoking the ephemeral human condition.

Josiane Maurer was born in Versailles and arrived in Condé in 1977, today she lives in Vassy a town nearby. She runs a drawing workshop for adults in the fine arts group in Condé. She has a diploma in photography in black and white and colour. She specialises in animal technical drawing. She uses dry pastels. Since 2000 she has exhibited her work in individual and collective exhibitions. She has often been awarded for her work.

April Guest Artist - Richard White

18/3/2018

Made in Ross Gallery are pleased to welcome
Richard White as our Guest Exhibitor
March 22nd to April 26th 2018.

Richard's paintings in oils or other media, photo-art or prints,
are all personal statements and a personal style which is
becoming both internationally recognised and sought
after by collectors looking for an investment.
Subjects are wide ranging and created using a vast tool box
packed with both traditional media and new digital technology.

He says of himself.....I've been a photographer, artist, designer and publisher for more than fifty years and I feel very privileged to have been given numerous opportunities to express my instinctive creativity with a camera, digital imagery, paint, crayons, pens or whatever came to hand.
Throughout the years, particularly during my time as a photo correspondent, occasionally working in some of the less desirable places of the world, I discovered the importance of looking beyond the ordinary that most people take for granted. It offered a chance for me to open my eyes.

"When i'm not running around with a camera, I paint pictures in oils and acrylics. If i'm in a brave mood, I'll try watercolours but these usually end up as sketches and notes that inspire paint on canvas".

For me, the world is still an exciting place where new discoveries, visual stimuli and emotional responses are so important, positive and highly creative experiences. In this way, harnessed to an insatiable curiosity and imagination, I discovered the magic of combining traditional art and photography in my work but never forgetting that the two are very important in their own right.

Most of my prints are derived from original photographs which are a starting point before post-digital painting techniques are applied in various computer imaging programs.
Adobe Photoshop is the most prominent of these and responsible for building textures, enhancements, montages or other changes that add exciting, necessary and personal reflections of my imagination.

I draw inspiration from 19th and 20th century artists....Impressionism to postmodernism with a special fascination for W.M.Turner, the early Impressionists as well as the Pre Raphaelites.

In particular, I admire photographers such as Steve McCurry, Richard Avedon, Don McCullin, Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams and Annie Leibovitz and more recently, those photographers who have turned towards digital Art and digital painting such as Christopher Gilbert, Ricardo Bagnoli and Erik Almás.

I hope that the collection shown will bring joy and pleasure

Guest Artist for August - Gerald Thornton

4/7/2017

About Gerald....Gerald was born in 1934, at home in the small Forest village of Five Acres, he was one of twins who weighed only 6lb between them.
Completely self taught, Gerald has drawn and sketched his whole life. Encouraged into oil painting by a friend in 1960, this quickly became his favourite medium.
Retirement from the construction industry in 1999, has finally given Gerald time to devote to his paintings. He has had several successful exhibitions in the Forest of Dean and the popular prints of his work are on sale at local venues, Taurus Crafts and The Dean Heritage Centre.

Gerald’s work is generally inspired by the landscapes of the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley. He enjoys the challenge of capturing the numerous ever changing textures and colours that the area presents from season to season. Sheep, deer and humans are often used to animate the landscapes.

He has become increasingly interested in capturing the unique cultural and industrial heritage of the Forest of Dean. Memories from childhood, growing up in a mining community through the war and a working life spent in the Forest of Dean are evident in his work.

Gerald also has a collection of paintings capturing the spectacular coastline of Cornwall and the fishing villages that have inspired him on many visits.

At the age of 83, Gerald has no plans to retire from painting! He continues to produce work inspired by the local surroundings, displays and sells prints and paintings at local events and regularly accepts commissions.
