Show Description
Neil Hodgson was born in 1938 in London and studied at Blackpool College, Manchester Regional
College of Art and Lancaster University. He taught for many years at Blackpool and The Fylde College specialising in Fine Art studies, drawing and painting. Neil works in a range of media concentrating mainly on landscape and portrait images, the series of large drawings exhibited were all been produced in the last few years. Although he works in different ways the drawings have been brought together because they represent one particular approach and scale.
Paul Mason was educated at Manchester Polytechnic where he specialised in Ceramics. Following the completion of the first year he was given the opportunity to study in the United States where he spent most of the second year at New York state College of Ceramics at Alfred university. He later studied for an MA degree in Ceramics at Cardiff College of Art and Design. In contextual terms his points of reference have always been outside those generally associated with studio ceramics and have orientated towards the Fine arts. Paul´s initial interest in the study of head and
facial coverings from warfare, ritual, sport and theatre led to a developing interest in how nature has developed various defence systems in animals, reptiles, fishes, birds and insects.
