European Stars - Hockney

European Stars is a tribute to David Hockney’s exceptional talent and wide range of projects that he has worked on.

Outcry and Aside

Outcry and Aside - Priestley

Outcry and Aside is a tribute to J.B. Priestley, whose presence is still felt in Bradford by the imposing statue situated in the centre of the city and depicted in the current used stamp collage impression. He never forgot the city in which he grew up, and even though he lived most of his later life “Down-South,” he kept a beady eye on the developments that took place in Bradford.

About The Artist

Bradford born scientist-turned-artist and novelist, Dr Keith Edmondson, showcases his recent artwork with a UV theme and its applications, to a wider audience.

After many years earning a ‘crust’ at the art of science he’s venturing, for him, into unknown territory applying a little science into art for a change. As a silver surfer of the Beach Boys’ era he started musing, as you eventually do, Wouldn’t It Be Nice to try something completely different? So far it’s been Fun, Fun, Fun and has been getting Good Vibrations from some quarters recently.

God Only Knows how it will end up but if you’ve lasted so far you might chance looking at The 63 Steppes novel, ‘cos You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet!
