An Artist Retrospective of Bridlington-based painter, Estella Brown will run in her hometown at The Baylegate Museum (Old Town) in Bridlington from 1st April to end of October 2023.
The exhibit will tell the story of Estella's life and work and feature some original paintings including a scene of a Waterloo battle that was selected by The Royal Academy as well as artefacts and memorabilia relating to the artist.
A range of Estella's prints will also be displayed at the museum and a separate print exhibition of her work will feature at Gallery 49 https://www.galleryforty-nine.com/summer2023 (Market Place, Old Town, Bridlington) who sold many of Estella's paintings over the years, featuring compositions of the seaside, town and countryside of Bridlington and the East Riding.
Estella Brown was a highly regarded artist who lived in Bridlington for over 70 years and whose paintings vividly depict and celebrate her home town and the East Riding.
In her striking and ageless pictures, she captured the joy of the English seaside, town and country. Favouring tradition over modernity, Estella’s work evoked the beauty and innocence of a simple and unspoilt past. She rarely travelled outside her beloved Yorkshire – if she couldn’t cycle there, she wouldn’t go!
Yet ironically it was her paintings that voyaged further, with her picture of a Waterloo battle being selected and hung at The Royal Academy and her work appearing in galleries across the UK including Bridlington, Hull, Cambridge and London.
