Market Street, York - an original pastel on A4 paper by York Artist Joe Gill
Joe has captured an atmospheric scene outside The Burns Hotel, showcasing the historic architecture of Market Street in York city centre.
About the artist: York born artist Joe Gill recently returned to the north after graduating from an Illustration degree at the University of Brighton.
Joe brought some of his prints and originals to show us, and we knew straight away that his work would be a great fit to the portfolio of artists here at The Braithwaite Gallery.
We loved his rich colour palette of soft pastels, reminiscent of the moody nocturnal urban landscapes of Victorian artist John Atkinson Grimshaw. Joe captures both the atmosphere of the location, full of history and personality, as well as a realistic landscape drawn with the skill of a draughtsman.
