SUMMARY:Pete Hoida
DESCRIPTION:Gallery 11 is currently home to an exhibition of work by Birkenhead-born artist Pete Hoida (1944-2023). \nThe paintings of Birkenhead-born Hoida are known for strong colour relationships alongside tonal subtlety and a unique approach to textures. Hoida studied Landscape Architecture followed by Art School at Hammersmith\, priory to graduating from the extended diploma course at Goldsmiths. His work has been authoritatively endorsed in essays by Mel Gooding and Chris Stephens\, and is well regarded by his peers. Hoida lived and worked in Stroud\, for over 40 years in the same hillside studio. \nThe Williamson has acquired his painting ‘Uisghe’ for our collections\, but all other paintings currently on display are for sale (however\, please note that the are not eligible for the Own Art Scheme). \nPlease note this exhibition may not be accessible when meetings are in progress. \nOwn Art
