Description
In this exhibition, you will step into the quiet, attentive world of Samuel Sharp, a Bradford-born digital painter whose work finds beauty in the overlooked corners of everyday life.
Former Artist in Residence at the Brontë Birthplace, Sharp creates luminous landscapes on an iPad, drawing inspiration from hedgerows, pavements, roadside trees, shifting skies and the fleeting views we often miss. His work is rooted in care, observation, memory and a deep connection to the Yorkshire landscape.
Following in a tradition of artists, including David Hockney, who have used colour and technology to look again at the world around them, Sharp transforms familiar places into images of tenderness, stillness and quiet emotional power.
