Michael Ashcroft Exhibition
For our first exhibition of 2011, Crown Gallery is proud to present an exhibition by prize-winning artist Michael Ashcroft.
Born in 1969, Lancashire artist Michael Ashcroft only really began painting seriously following a major operation in 1998. Since then he has achieved critical acclaim for his work, becoming a top ten finalist in the International Artist Exhibition and winning the Harris Open Exhibition.
Michael's painting explores the differences between light and dark. He paints landscapes and city-scapes with an almost translucent quality of light, creating work which is often likened to major artists such as Edward Hopper.
Crown Gallery presents Michael Ashcroft from Monday 7th February, with a special preview on Sunday 6th February. The exhibition will run for four weeks until Sunday 6th March 2011.
