The work of a further 40 local contemporary artists is on display in the surprisingly extensive gallery,

The gallery serves as a studio for artist David Starley whose oil paintings capture the harshness and beauty of the surrounding area in a very personal way. The work of a further 40 local contemporary artists is on display in the surprisingly extensive gallery, together with selected work from earlier artists from the region. The front room hosts a series of, regularly changing, themed exhibitions.

Work on show demonstrates a wide variety of media, textures, styles and the local landscape is well represented, generally in original works, but also some prints. The gallery hosts a range of artists; there are fellow oil painters such as Judith Levin, whose soft moorland landscapes complement Starley’s work. Jane Fielder, the former owner, maintains a good selection of her quirky local scenes in one room and the other artist in residence, L. Amy Charlesworth, has a display of hyper-realist oils.

There’s a good mix of 3D work on display too, including ceramics from Nettleton Pottery, Lis Holt and Nina Wright. Also the wood-turning and wooden sculpture by Gavin Edwards and Mike Bentley. And don’t miss the amazing, welded steel sculptures of Mick Kirkby Geddes.

The Bingley Gallery’s strength lies in its more personal curational approach to exhibits; it’s an artist-led space that prioritises support other local artists. Whether you’re looking for pleasure or to buy, you’ll be sure of a warm welcome and will definitely gain a sense of the strength of the area’s artistic output.
