Great Yarmouth Artist Jane Hall Unveils New Seaside Seductions Exhibition

Great Yarmouth's quirkiest art gallery plays host to Jane Hall's seaside-themed paintings...

Great Yarmouth Art Gallery

This week sees the launch of a new exhibition of seaside-themed paintings by the Great Yarmouth artist Jane Hall. Taking place at Harvey Wilson's Secret Gallery over the coming three weeks, this exciting new art show sees the popular artist filling Norfolk's most bohemian gallery with her usual mixture of paintings based on the Yarmouth's seafront culture - so think ice creams, fruit machines, amusement arcades, hot dogs, fish and chips and all the traditional British seaside sights.

Jane will also be exhibiting the latest pieces in her highly successful and collectible 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' series. These smaller works - each the size of a traditional seaside postcard - take as their subjects some of the lesser known sights of Great Yarmouth. They focus on the back streets and side streets of this quintessential seaside holiday town, capturing the night-time lights in convenience stores doorways, kebab shop windows and takeaway restaurants.

Seaside Seductions runs from 25th of August to the 9th of September 2015 at Harvey Wilson's Secret Gallery, 33a Market Row, Great Yarmouth. The gallery is open Monday to Saturday from 9.30am to 3.30pm, with a special late night opening between 6pm and 9pm on Friday 28th of August.

Artist Jane Hall's 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' Go On Show At Great Yarmouth Library

Art lovers still have another week to catch Jane Hall's latest art exhibition at Great Yarmouth Library.

Great Yarmouth Art Gallery

There is more to Great Yarmouth artist Jane Hall than colourful paintings of ice creams and fruit machines. Though much of her artistic work is centred on her home town's vibrant and flourshing seaside, she is also inspired by Yarmouth's back streets, cafes, convenience stores and take away shops. Many of these less obvious subjects for paintings are captured on canvas late at night, with the light in a window or the rain on the pavement adding mystery and mood to these striking works of art. They are also mostly painted in a miniature format, which echoes the size of the seaside postcards for which Great Yarmouth is so well known.

Contemporary Norfolk Artist

These new 'postcard-sized' paintings are a step in a new direction for Jane Hall. She explains: 'There were a number of interesting buildings in town that I'd wanted to paint for many years, but for some reason I had never quite found the right way of making them work as paintings. I kept playing around with various ideas for them, then eventually decided to try one in a really small format. It was a picture of the Lucky Star takeaway on St. Peter's Road, and as soon as I did it on a 7x5-inch canvas, I knew I was onto something. The miniature canvas was just the right size to allow me to inject real life into the image; and so I've carried on creating more and more pictures in a similar vein capturing various aspects of this fascinating town.'

Jane Hall's 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' series of original paintings is currently on show at the Rumbelow Gallery, which is located upstairs in Great Yarmouth Library. The art exhibition is open daily from 9am to 5pm, with late opening on Wednesday night till 7.30pm. The show runs until Saturday 22nd February 2014 and admission is free.

Jane Hall's Latest Art Exhibition At Great Yarmouth Library Gives Novel Take On The Seaside Postcard

A series of miniature, seaside postcard-size original paintings take centre stage at a new art exhibition in Great Yarmouth.

Art Exhibitions in Great Yarmouth

Norfolk-based artist Jane Hall is probably best known for her bright, Pop Art-style ice cream and fruit machine paintings, but her latest exhibition at Great Yarmouth Library sees her work moving off in an exciting new direction. A series of paintings entitled 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' sees the artist taking the familiar sights of this popular British seaside resort and turning them into 5 x 7-inch orginal paintings, each the size of the traditional seaside postcard. Using acrylic on canvas board, she paints well-known local monuments, such as St Nicholas Church, St George's Theatre, Waterways, Leisureland and The Mint.

 

Great Yarmouth Gallery

But it's not just the more obvious subjects that feature in this new range of original paintings. Jane Hall also turns her artistic eye to lesser known sights and hidden local treasures, such as the launderette on King Street, the Lucky Star takeaway on St Peter's Road and the Murco petrol station on Northgate Street. Many of these more obscure subjects are captured in night-time scenes in which the play of light in a window adds an extra air of mystery and mood. In paintings such as these the artist seems to be saying that even the most unlikely venue can be turned into a work of art - a convience store, say, or a kebab shop.

The 'Postcards From Great Yarmouth' paintings are on display at Great Yarmouth Library until 22nd of February 2014. The show is open every day, except Sundays, with a late night viewing until 7.30pm on Wednesday 19th February 2014. For more information, visit the artist's website at www.jane-hall.co.uk.

Late Night Opening At Great Yarmouth Library For Artist Jane Hall's Seaside Sensation 3

Tonight sees a special late night opening at Great Yarmouth Library for the official opening of local artist Jane Hall's latest seaside-themed show.

Great Yarmouth Paintings

Members of the public are invited to a special late night opening at Great Yarmouth Library this evening, when the Mayor of Great Yarmouth will be officially opening the latest solo art exhibition by artist Jane Hall. Featuring original paintings depicting both the grit and glamour of this popular seaside holiday resort, Seaside Sensation 3 will appeal to all lovers of art, as well as to all Great Yarmouth residents who take an interest in the town in which they live. Many of the paintings take as their subjects popular and instantly recognisable local landmarks, such as Havenbridge House, St. Nicholas Church and St. George's Theatre and seafront arcades including Leisureland and The Mint.

Norfolk Artist Jane Hall

Many of the works in this new exhibition form part of Jane Hall's new series of paintings, Postcards from Great Yarmouth. These new paintings are the same size as traditional seaside postcards; but they don't always depict the kind of obvious image you'd expect to see on a typical 'Wish You Were Here'-style card. A large number of them focus on the back streets and side streets of Great Yarmouth, taking as their subjects such diverse matter as kebab shops, launderettes, convience stores and petrol stations. These unsual choices of subject matter are often depicted late at night, which provides a stark contrast to Jane's bright, vibrant and colourful ice cream and fruit machine paintings also displayed in this fascinating and engaging art exhibition.

The official opening of Seaside Sensation 3 (featuring the 'Postcards from Great Yarmouth' paintings) takes place between 6pm and 8.30pm on Wednesday 12th of February 2014. All members of the public are welcome to attend the opening, and for those who are unable to make it, the exhbition runs daily at Great Yarmouth Library until Saturday the 22nd of Februrary. For full library opening hours, visit the 'Exhibitions' page at www.jane-hall.co.uk.

Great Yarmouth Art Exhibition

 



Starting February 11th 2014, the walls of Great Yarmouth Library will be brightened up by the colourful seaside paintings of local artist Jane Hall. Her third SEASIDE SENSATION exhibition at the venue will showcase more of her seaside-inspired paintings of ice creams, amusement arcades and fruit machines, as well as a new series of miniature paintings of Great Yarmouth street scenes and town centre monuments called 'Postcards from Great Yarmouth'. These new works are all painted on 5x7-inch canvas boards - the size of the traditional seaside postcard - and feature a mix of quirky subjects, including local kebab shops, laundrettes and convenience stores. Jane also offers an original take on well-known venues, like St. Nicholas Church and St. George's Theatre, by painting them as miniature skyscapes.

The exhibition's official opening will take between 6pm and 8pm on Wednesday, February 12th. All members of the public are welcome to attend the opening night for a glass of wine and an evening of fine art. And for those who cannot make the opening night, the exhibition will run during library hours until Saturday, February 22nd. For more details, visit the artist's website at www.jane-hall.co.uk.

Great Yarmouth Artist Jane Hall Paints Fruit Machines From Seafront Amusement Arcades

The fruit machines of Leisureland, the Mint, the Flamingo and the Silver Sipper inspire Great Yarmouth artist Jane Hall's new original artworks.

 

Fruit Machine Painting

Forever taking inspiration from the seaside sights of Great Yarmouth, it is the fuit machines of the seaside holiday resort's many amusement arcades that have inspired the latest original artworks by Jane Hall. Those who are familiar with arcades like Leisureland, the Mint, the Silver Slipper and Gold Rush will know them to be bright, colourful places full of neon light and slot machines. The machines flash and twinkle as you wander by them. Winnings rattle loudly into metal trays. It is all designed to draw you in and encourage you to have a go yourself

Orignal Great Yarmouth Pictures

The vibrancy of the slot machines and the life they bring to Great Yarmouth's Marine Parade make them an excellent subject for artist Jane Hall. She has always been fascinated by colourful signage and the way advertising features in the urban landscape. And the big, bold frontages of the slot machines she is now blowing up, in monumental style, manage to be as eye-catching and tempting as the machines in the arcades themselves. This is bold art, owing much to Pop Art, but with a modern sensibility; and with a strong, unmissable link to the seaside resort where Jane Hall lives and works.

The fruit machine paintings of Jane Hall will go on display at Great Yarmouth Library in February 2014. They will be shown alongside her ice cream paintings and other works exploring the Great British seaside holiday as it is today.

Great Yarmouth artist Jane Hall's latest paintings of the Great British seaside will be on exhibition at Great Yarmouth Library in February 2014. This will be Jane's third 'Seaside Sensation' show and the new work will contain a familiar mix of her favourite subjects. She is currently working on original paintings of ice creams, fruit machines and fish and chip shops, as well as pictures capturing life on Marine Parade, St. Peters Road and some of Yarmouth's quieter back streets.

The 'Seaside Sensation' show will follow hot on the heels of Jane's November exhibition at the Norwich Playhouse. And that show comes just months after Jane's first major solo show in London's Reading Room Gallery, which featured her stunning paintings of Soho sex shops and strip-tease joints. It's been a busy year for this rising Great Yarmouth artist - a year that has also seen the launch of her Online Ice Cream Parlour, on which she offers affordable original artwork for sale. The online store showcases several of her popular ice cream paintings, many of which are painted in thick acrylic paint with a palette knife to create a luscious ice creamy texture.

Making a painting look like real ice cream isn't very easy, but artist Jane Hall's new technique has produced some seriously mouth-watering pictures.

Great Yarmouth artist Jane Hall has always taken her inspiration from the Great British seaside that sits on her doorstep. She is known for her paintings of amusement arcades, fish and chip shops, Pleasure Beach rides and ice creams, and it's the latest development in her ice cream paintings that has lately been causing the biggest stir. The Norfolk-based artist has been experimenting with thick layers of paint applied with a palette knife to create images that capture the real texture of ice cream. She has kept these paintings small and affordable; and has now put them for sale online at Jane Hall's Online Ice Cream Parlour.

Original Ice Cream Paintings

Jane says: "Many of my original ice cream paintings weren't really paintings of ice cream at all. They were, in fact, pictures of plastic ice creams used as advertising signage; but lately I've been concentrating more and more on capturing real, edible ice creams in paint. I started off with a Knickerbocker Glory, which worked really well using thicker paint, then I started buying sundaes and 99s from the seafront stores in Yarmouth, Gorleston and Hemsby. I love how paint can look just like ice cream and also like chocolate and strawberry sauce. It means I can create bright, colouful pictures that look just as tasty as the subjects that inspired them."

Jane recently completed an ice cream commission for a Great Yarmouth cafe on Marine Parade. "They wanted images of their own ice creams and desserts on their walls," she explains, "and I would love to do more work like that. But in the meantime, I'm giving everyone the chance to buy one of my ice cream paintings online. I'm keeping them affordable, so if you'd like to buy an ice cream picture, head to my brand new online store."

'99' Ice Cream Painting By Great Yarmouth Seaside Artist Jane Hall

Jane Hall's latest original ice cream painting makes debut in online art store.

Seaside Paintings

Great Yarmouth artist Jane Hall is best-known for her paintings of ice creams; and her latest work depicts an absolute classic - the seaside favourite, 99. In this new original painting, a chunky chocolate flake soars out of a luscious scoop of vanilla ice cream, which itself spills over the edges of a crisp wafer cone. The ice cream is depicted against an abstract seaside background, which turns out to be based on Gorleston beach.

Ice Cream Pictures

Jane explains: 'I bought and ate this ice cream on a sunny day on Gorleston seafront, but managed to take a few really good photographs of it before the hot sun made the ice cream melt. I often paint my ice cream pictures from life, but this one melted too quickly for that. But the photos allowed me to recpature the moment once I was back in the studio.'

Jane Hall's 99 ice cream painting is currently available for purchase at her online affordable art store. Click through now to see more of her seaside-themed paintings.

Ice Cream Paintings

Great Yarmouth-based artist Jane Hall is probably best known for her paintings of the traditional British seaside holiday. Her work tends to feature fish and chip shops, amusement arcades, fun fair rides and, most famously of all, lots of lovely ice creams. And that's why, out of all her work, she has decided to create an online gallery devoted to her ice cream paintings. The new gallery showcases affordable artworks created using a new technique in which thick layers of paint is laid onto the canvas with a palette knife, rather than Jane's traditional brushwork.

Great Yarmouth Art

Jane says: "The use of the palette knife and thicker paint gives these paintings an incredible texture. It makes them look just like real ice cream, and it's been exciting to see my work moving off in this new direction. I've been getting ice creams off the ice cream man almost every day so I can experiment more with this brand new style. It is such a free and expressive way to paint, but at the same time it involves a great amount of control."

Jane Hall's new online ice cream parlour opened just last week, with all work available for a maximum price of £100. Click through now to view the full range of original paintings for sale.
