Exhibition at Philips Art Gallery Manchester

July 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Philips Art Gallery present another exhibition of varied works of art, including photographs, at their basement gallery on Tib Lane, near Cross Street in Manchester city centre.

Liam Spencer paintings from Philips Art Gallery website

The signature image of the exhibition is a striking portrait of a West Midlands biker by Andrew Tift. It looks like a photograph, but on closer inspection, it’s an intricately executed painting.

There are works by Liam Spencer, Manchester’s leading contemporary artist. His paintings depict familiar Manchester scenes using remarkable effects of light and brushwork.

Liam Spencer’s paintings are highly regarded and sought after. You can own one for the price of a car - a good one.

Philips Art Gallery is run by David and Diane Powell and was first set up in 1996, also the year I started to take photos and write about Manchester.

They choose the art to display strictly on the basis of their own enthusiasm and passion for the work.

Find out more at www.philipsartgallery.com or better still, go along to the gallery and see the pictures they have on display.
