Local young Artists display their work in the Minster
Two talented young York artists have been offered a rare opportunity to exhibit their work in the building that inspired them. Jamie Donaldson and Andrew Allen have created works of art depicting York Minster.
Jamie Donaldson, a former student of the Minster School, age 19, has produced several images in a variety of medium. Paintings of the Minster's West Front, Central Tower and South Transept can all be viewed. His work also depicts the Minster at night and in the rain. The paintings have been created using pastels, oils and inks. Other subjects portrayed include the River Ouse and Bamburgh Castle, produced through the use of acrylics.
Andrew Allen, in his late 20s, has been stewarding at York Minster for over five years. His exhibition aims to convey the images of the Minster that cannot be readily experienced on an average visit. This includes the depiction of the Minster lit by Patrice Warrener's laser display in November 2005. The exhibition consists purely of photographs, with other subjects including sunrise and sunset at the Minster. Also illustrated is the Nave empty of chairs and the top of the tower.
Both artists will display their work in the Minster until 30th October 2006.
