Garry Courtnell Exhibits 7th June – 21st August


We are delighted to announce a brand new exhibition is now in situ in the Garden Cafe at Scampston. 

Garry Courtnell paints in oil and acrylic mainly from imagination using the motif of landscape, finding inspiration from places visited, remembered or simply imagined. He creates lively expressive landscapes.

Garry has been a practicing artist & photographer for 25 years though over the past few years has concentrated mainly on painting, receiving much acclaim for his exhibitions in York, Newcastle and his hometown of Hartlepool.

"I have no real notion at the out-set; the painting grows organically out of abstract blotches and marks. I find this way of working appealing as I never know how a painting will turn out. Some do some don’t in which case I just paint over, again and again. Every painting is a journey - an adventure."

Garry's Influences are numerous, but most recently they have been British modernism and Chinese brush painting.


The exhibition will be held in the Garden Cafe from the 7th June until the 21st August, come and take a peek :)
