JACK VETTRIANO
‘ T h e Pe o p l e ’ s Pa i n t e r ’
Born in Fife in 1951, Jack Vettriano has emerged
from the unlikely background of an early working
life in the Scottish coalfields to become one of
Britain's best known contemporary artists; he is
entirely self-taught. His work first came to public
prominence at the Royal Scottish Academy open
exhibition in 1988. Since then there have been
sell-out exhibitions in Edinburgh, London,
Hong Kong, Johannesburg and New York.
In 2003, Jack Vettriano was awarded an Honorary
Doctorate from St Andrew's University and an
OBE for Services to the Visual Arts. In April 2004,
his painting The Singing Butler was sold at
Sotheby's for in excess of £700,000 a record
breaking price for a painting by a Scottish artist.
Vettriano's most recent exhibition with London’s
Portland Gallery, Love, Devotion and Surrender,
was in April 2006.
A Collection of images from this important
event is available to collectors and is illustrated in
this magazine.
We are proud to be associated with the work of
Jack Vettriano.

FERRARI
James Blinkhorn’s powerful, ultra-stylish
compositions stop us in our tracks as effectively as the
speeding Ferraris they portray.
A striking example of modern male success, James is
talented, innovative and competitive, with that traditional
High Flyer
masculine weakness for the sexier things in life – particularly
fast cars. His images contrast the myriad greys of sidewalks
and skyscrapers with occasional ventures towards the bolder
end of the spectrum. To achieve this distinctive look, James
approached a bespoke pastel manufacturer and had over 50
different shades of grey individually created ranging from
oyster to ash, from iron to dove, from seawashed pebbles to
cloudy skies. These allow him to describe every nuance of

of the more conventional range of colours, a stylistic
achievement which has won him a unique place on the
contemporary art market.

Congratulations to
S H E R R E E VA L E N T I N E DA I N E S
The face of Modern
British Impressionism,
Sherree Valentine Daines, has
referred to herself as married to
her work on more than one
occasion (despite the existence
of her charming artist husband
and four beautiful children...).
This year we would like to offer
Sherree our congratulations on
her Pearl Anniversary – officially
painting for 30 years.
On her Pearl Anniversary and the launch of
‘First Impressions’
Painting the formidable broadcaster
MICHAEL PARKINSON for a TV show
was particularly memorable. It seemed strange in a way
to be creating an impression of someone who is used to
a magnificent hardback book.
Sherree enjoys a formidable reputation in the fine art world, so to celebrate both this anniversary
and her 50th birthday, DeMontfort Fine Art will be releasing ‘First Impressions’ in Spring. This
beautiful retrospective will take us on a guided tour of Sherree’s remarkable career as the face of
painting his own pictures of celebrities in words, but he was,
Modern British Impressionism and with images ranging from society scenes to formal portraits it
of course, utterly charming.
will demonstrate the wide ranging subject matter of this internationally-acclaimed artistic force.

Jonathan Shaw
‘O u r h o m e s s h o u l d p r o v i d e b o t h a s a n c t u a r y w h e r e w e
can enjoy being ourselves and a secure base from which
to venture out into the world with confidence.’
As such they should reflect and support our personalities,
and one fascinating way to ensure that this happens is to pay
attention to the psychology of colour. The colours of our
environment affect our behaviour and mood: when yellow
daffodils appear we begin to feel livelier, whereas a grey
office carpet can make us feel decidedly lacklustre.
One simple but effective way to introduce the perfect
colours into our homes is through a painting, and the work
of Jonathan Shaw provides an inspirational starting point. His
breathtaking images use the convergence of sea and sky as
an opportunity to explore the expressive possibilities of the
spectrum; so whether we crave the cool serenity of azure
blues, the stimulation of strong, passionate reds or the
contemplative qualities of lilac, Jonathan presents us with the
ultimate choice of palette.
Contact the gallery to receive Jonathan’s ‘My World’ brochure which shows his complete collection.

JOHN MILAN
PETER WILEMAN VPROI
ORIGINAL ARTWORK
Harry Brioche Born and brought up in the Seychelles, Harry found himself entranced by the “moody” skies he found within the UK. His new oil
paintings portray beautifully lit scenes of the British countryside, which he describes as "lighting the landscape".
John Milan lived for a time in the beautiful Mediterranean coastal city of Kavala in Greece, and it is this experience that has influenced his distinctive
palette. His fascinating abstract images contrast dense areas of tonal layering with a more ethereal range of luminous whites and ochres.
Simon Bull who lives in California, has been a huge international talent for over two decades.
His artistic inspiration comes largely from his poetic response to the world which he conveys via an extraordinary vocabulary of colour, form and texture.
Peter Wileman VPROI This multi award-winning artist’s new collection of originals is characterised by vigorous brushstrokes and a dramatic air of
spontaneity, enhancing his already enviable reputation as a master of observation and execution.

Sherree Valentine Daines The authenticity
and honesty of Sheree’s observation of the
female form is softened by her subtle
impressionistic approach.
Peter Wileman VPROI
Some of Peter’s most expressive images are
inspired by Britain’s coves and harbours,
and the beautifully rendered detail gives
each scene a quality of intimacy.
Philip Gray has a unique ability to
communicate the wonder of the natural
world and portray the spacious landscapes
and wide skies of his native Irish coast.
Emilija Pasagic was born in the former
Yugoslavia but moved to Canada in the
1990s. Her unconventional style uses a
blend of bee’s wax and oil paints combining
an exotic, modernistic approach with an
ancient technique.
