Beach Scene, Cornwall by Alan Knight
The Gateway Gallery is situated in Macclesfield, Cheshire and

Northern School’. Their Winter Exhibition includes work by artists of
national and international acclaim, and also artists whose work will, in
their view, achieve this. Featured in the exhibition are paintings by:
Alan Lowndes, Dame Elizabeth Frink, Roger Hampson, Peter Howson,
Geoffrey Key, Ghislaine Howard and Alan Knight.
GEOFFREY KEY

GHISLAINE HOWARD

Ghislaine Howard is a painter of power and expression whose works deal
with the human condition. Her exhibition at Manchester City Art Gallery,
concerning pregnancy, A Shared Experience, was given massive critical
acclaim. She is represented in many public and private collections,
including The Royal Collection. In 2008 she was named A Woman of the
Year for her contribution to art and society.
DEAN ENTWISTLE
View from Lindisfarne
Dean Entwistle is a figurative artist whose work is primarily
watercolour. A landscape painter, who seeks not only to give a true
representation but to capture its feeling in a given moment of time.
This places him in the Impressionist School of art. His work has been
recognised by the Royal Watercolour Society and is in private
collections around the UK.
BEN KELLY
Untitled
Ben Kelly is a young artist whose reputation is steadily climbing. Since
graduating from Central Saint Martin’s Art College he has developed an
expressive, bold style. He is the first painter since L. S. Lowry to win
the Football and Fine Arts Prize, and spent a year as artist in
residence at Manchester City FC, providing a body of work which was
nationally acclaimed.
ALAN LOWNDES
St Ives Harbour
Alan Lowndes died in 1978 and has since become an artist of
international fame whose work has been compared favourably with Lowry.
He started work as a decorator and took painting lessons at Stockport
College, where his tutor was Emmanuel Levy. He is now a major artist
having had one man and mixed exhibitions from 1950 to the present day.
His work can be seen at the Tate Gallery.
