THE next six local artists displaying their works on Bradford’s big screen are helping to carry on the “strong art tradition” of the city. Part of the Not Just Hockney project set up by Silsden art enthusiast Colin Neville, the artist’s choice exhibition is designed to showcase the work of local artists. The latest selection, which runs throughout May and June, includes a documentary photographer, a wood artist, a community artist and three painters. Their work will be displayed on the big screen at the edge of City Park. Mr Neville, who also runs a website dedicated to local artists, said: “The May and June daily ‘Artist’s Choice’ presentations on Bradford Big Screen will again showcase the marvellous range of home-grown professional visual art and crafts in the district.
THE artwork of local artist, Ian Middleton, will feature on Bradford Big Screen daily at 12.30pm throughout March and April as part of the ‘Artist’s Choice’ presentation organised by Bradford UNESCO City of Film in association with the Not Just Hockney website. Arts supporter and Silsden resident, Colin Neville, who curates the Not Just Hockney website, organises these bi-monthly presentations on the Big Screen to showcase the talents of local professional artists. He said: “The March and April daily presentations on Bradford Big Screen will again highlight the diversity and range of visual artists in the district. Over the last 12 months it’s been a tough time for freelancers everywhere, and particularly artists, as exhibition spaces have dried up and galleries closed. But this presentation is a reminder that local artists are still out there working, because their artwork is a big part of their identity.”

THE Ilkley stained glass artist Jonathan Cooke is one of six artists selected to show his artwork on Bradford Big Screen daily throughout January and February next year. The presentation has been organised by Silsden art supporter, Colin Neville, who curates the Not Just Hockney website, in association with Bradford UNESCO City of Film. The Not Just Hockney website features the life and work of nearly 500 professional visual artists, past and present, from across the Bradford district and has been organising Big Screen presentations of local artwork since 2016. “All the featured artists have been asked to select three of their representative artwork images to be shown on the screen, together with a statement from each explaining their work. In addition to Jonathan, with his brilliant stained glass artwork, there are two professional painters, a tapestry weaver, a documentary photographer, and a jewellery designer. ‘
