Welcome to The Green Ginger Gallery Webpage!


Green Ginger Gallery is a small gallery space in Durham, specializing in exhibiting work from and art students studying in the area.  The gallery is constantly changing, adding and re-arranging its exhibition material; so viewing is essential to get the full experience.  Our aim is to bring lively contemporary art into the heart of the community and to create a platform from which young artists can exhibit.

Death by JA Austin and detail (right)



      


Life and Death were made in the summer of 2007, inspired by Gustav Klimt's figuration of the female form.  I Painted these partly in response to a colour scheme i had used during a commission piece; i became somehow enchanted with cadmium orange and any colour that would befriend it.  Both these were a pleasure and a relief to create, they provided me with the total artistic freedom and playfulness which does not dominate my current series of work. These two pieces operate to their fullest as a pair.
