Press Releases - Millard & LancasterRECENT WORKS BY ALEX UXBRIDGE – DECEMBER ART EXHIBITION AT MILLARD & LANCASTER, SHREWSBURYShrewsbury’s Millard & Lancaster gallery store is preparing for its final exhibition of 2012 with an exhibition of recent works by artist Alex Uxbridge. Comprising Welsh, English and French landscapes, the exhibition marks the first Shrewsbury exhibition for Alex Uxbridge, who has established a successful London exhibiting record. Opening on 29th November with a reception in aid of the Art Fund, the exhibition continues until 3rd January 2013. Brought up at Plas Newydd on the Island of Anglesey, a house that his father, the Marquess of Anglesey, gifted to the National Trust and which, together with much of North Wales, has been an inspiration and finds itself as a subject matter in his paintings, Alex Uxbridge works in ink, watercolours and in oils. Capturing the vastness and awe-inspiring nature of the Welsh landscape, Uxbridge is also adept at conveying the vaguaries of Welsh weather and its shifting moods on the countryside. Gareth Williams of Millard & Lancaster comments: “Alex Uxbridge has a brilliant way of depicting Welsh mountainous scenery in an original way that steps between the broad palette knife techniques of Kyffin Williams – whom Uxbridge knew well – and any finer painting techniques which might lose something of the rude grandeur of the subject matter. He delineates the landscape with reassuring incidents of man’s occupation and, at the same time, conveys a sense of human scale. We are delighted to welcome Alex to Millard and Lancaster for this first Shrewsbury exhibition and have no doubt that the exhibition will prove to be of great interest.” Alex Uxbridge has benefited from a number of important critical reviews, with the writer Jan Morris having described his paintings that they ‘seem to me unique and beyond exact definition… They deal generally with down-to-earth matters. Landscapes, sea-scapes, city-scapes are portrayed man-to-man, so to speak, without innuendo, and across them humans and animals go un-selfconsciously about their business.’ Notes to Editors: The Exhibition of Recent Works by Alex Uxbridge runs at Millard & Lancaster from 29th November 2012 until 3rd January 2013. A special private view, in aid of the Art Fund, is being held on Thursday 29th November. Tickets have sold out. A further reception, with Alex Uxbridge present, will take place on Sunday 2nd December from 11.00am until 4.00pm.
