Revolution is in the air as Humph Hack, curator at Malvern Theatres, introduces the next three artists to display their work.

The paintings chosen to be on show in Malvern Theatres are part of an art revolution which has taken place over the last few years – a revolution which many people won’t have noticed.

You can buy almost anything online - groceries, fashion, electrical goods and more.

People do it all the time.

But it was only recently that it became possible to buy art this way and one of the “movers and shakers” was the company who organise these six weekly shows in the theatre.

Based in Tetbury, artgallery.co.uk represents over 2,000 artists.

I select work, just like online customers do.

There is always enough information about size, materials etc and several supplementary photos to let me know exactly what the actual work will look like when it arrives in Malvern for hanging – always on a Sunday.

And just like thousands of happy customers who have bought this way, have discovered, the work is nearly always better than it looks on-line.

So it is, that this next show has been chosen from the online gallery.

Three artists with considerable reputations, consummate talent and proven sales record will grace this exciting venue from Monday, May 18 for six weeks.

Mike Skidmore’s still-life works rival the very best of this age-old genre.

What they have which makes them even more collectable is a delightful whimsy derived from Mike’s chosen titles. There is in effect more there than meets the eye.

The style may at first appear conventional, his choice of oils to portray his subject matter traditional, but the message is bang up to date.

Judith Selcuk works, by contrast, in more unusual media.

She produces evocative and rich images using coloured pencils, artstix, crayons etc and often adds gold and silver leaf to her compositions.

The recognition of the superb quality of her technique with these materials is the reason she was asked to edit a magazine dedicated to their use, and she can be seen demonstrating her technique at venues across the country and on the Create and Craft television channel.

The third artist on show is Graeme Robb.

His acrylic works refer back to the excitement caused by impressionism in the art world of the 19th Century.

The style remains a firm favourite with the British public but Graeme’s works have a freshness which attracts 21st Century buyers.

Although he produces portraits in a similar style, the works in this show are all landscape inspired.

So, three artists, three different subject matters and three very different media. You “pays your money and you makes your choice.”

There’s lots more to see, of these and other artists, at www.artgallery.co.uk.

The exhibition runs until Saturday 27 June.
