‘The Urbanites’ brings together five artists from the UK and Ireland, each of whom has an individual approach, and employs a variety of different media, to depict the urban landscape they inhabit.

Iona Frances Brown creates vast collections of ink drawings that fondly preserve multicoloured, dilapidated buildings, kitsch amusement figures and humorous graffiti in urban landscapes.

Jack Coates creates fluid, gestural and impressionistic artwork that captures the details and shapes of the urban landscape, consciously embracing an autonomous style.

David Fox’s work possesses a compelling connection with the contemporary Irish landscape. In recent work he captures the vibrant essence of graffiti within the bustling cities across Ireland and beyond.

Bernard Quinn’s recent work is a series of town portraits of his native North East of England. Having lived away from the area for many years, he was curious to ‘return’ to his home through photography, drawing and painting.

Beth J Ross’s work delves into themes of memory, emotion, place, and the lingering traces of the environments she inhabits. Having lived in, and explored, urban spaces across the globe, Ross draws inspiration from the built environments around her.
