The East Riding Yeomanry Exhibition

Burton Constable Hall has long been intertwined with the story of the East Riding Yeomanry, thanks to the distinguished military service of the Chichester-Constable family. To mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we are proud to present a special exhibition showcasing the Neil Hutty Collection, the largest private collection dedicated to the East Riding Yeomanry.

Neil Hutty’s passion for the regiment began with his grandfather, who served as a trooper during the Second World War. After his grandfather’s passing, Neil realised how little was known about his service. With few published histories available, he began his own research in 2000. In 2004, he acquired his first piece of regimental memorabilia. Over the next two decades, his collection grew into a remarkable tribute to the men of the East Riding Yeomanry.

This compelling exhibition features a wide range of artefacts, including, uniforms and medals, service records and documents and personal items belonging to members of the regiment.

Together, these pieces tell the story of a proud regiment and the individuals who served within it.

Exhibition entry is included with Hall admission.

Re – An Exhibition of Re-visited & Re-Worked Artworks

An Exhibition of Re-Visited & Re-Worked Artworks
By @wilsongraphic
At @brew_hull

Runs 12th – 25th July
——————

If you’ve been following lately I’ve been back creating and posting on here. This time around using old paintings that I had discarded and could no longer stand to look at that just needed a new lease of life. I’ve been really pleased with the results and am excited to share them in a public space again at the ever glorious @brew_hull

Come check them out for two weeks from 12th July!

F.S Smith Exhibition

An exhibition featuring previously unseen drawings of Victorian Hull by F.S. Smith is opening at the Hull History Centre. The exhibition, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Smith’s death, will run from July 15th to August 28th. The Hull History Centre is located in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Hidden Layers

Annie Luke Turner is a full-time artist whose work is inspired by landscape. The research widely encompasses the natural and built – landscape; the places and spaces themselves; the spiritual and cultural landscape – the stories and people of those places; the emotional landscape. Annie endeavours to capture how she feels in those spaces, reflecting her own life and the transformational process of making the work.

Time is spent visiting and sketching the chosen place. The work is delved into and abstracted back at the studio. An analysis of mark making and problem solving evolve through the layering of mixed media. Sketch book work and emotional memories are the studies. Selected elements are filtered into the final painting.

Annie’s latest work focuses on an old stone barn at Kendal Fell in Cumbria. It’s easy to walk past and not see the elaborate 16th century windows which have been long since filled in. Looking into the history of this place reveals it was the home of the Briggs family who fought their cousins in the English Civil War. They lost, and the house was taken from them. Now it sits on the hill and is a refuge for the sheep in the winter months.

Hull Print Collective

Hull Print Collective is a local community group with members who are from Hull, the East Riding, and North Lincolnshire.

An evolving group of printmakers employing a very personal approach, covering a wide range of subject matter.

The group explores a wide variety of printmaking techniques including etching, aquatint, lino, collagraph, monotype, and screen – printing.

Points of View

The exhibition entitled “Points of View” will feature impressionistic landscapes in acrylics, oils, and pastels, which are often seen from unusual viewpoints, including some aerial perspectives. The exhibition will comprise mainly recent work by Phil Hargreaves, reflecting his ongoing move towards abstraction based on the natural world and our everyday life.

About the artist

Phil has been painting for nigh on 60 years and has won awards at the Ferens Open in Hull and at the Derby Arts Festival. In 2021 he was shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and this year reached the final of the SAA Artist of the Year competition. He is Chairman of Hornsea Art Society and a member of East Riding Artists. His paintings are in private collections from Japan to the USA.

Visiting the Gallery
The Stables Community Gallery is open daily from 10am to 5pm, and entry is free. Everyone is welcome to explore the exhibition and enjoy the creative work on display in this accessible community space.

Savour This Moment

Isobel Hill is an artist based in the East Riding of Yorkshire and much of her work is inspired by this rural landscape. The artist works across media, applying her distinctive, illustrative style to drawing, painting, ceramics and animation.

Hill uses poetry and drawing to generate ideas, taking note of and mystifying mundane experiences to find wonder in the everyday. Phenomena that can be easy to ignore – a face within the flesh of a banana, a silhouette reflected in a window, the shadow of a tree looming over a neighbouring house – become extraordinary when given due attention. The artist documents these occurrences in her sketchbook and manipulates them digitally before mapping them onto canvases, where they take on an illustrative and painterly quality.

In this exhibition Hill returns to a number of personally significant motifs: a local folly, neighbouring houses, Flamborough Lighthouse, cutlery, agricultural tools and her late West Highland White Terriers. She layers this imagery within the paintings, shadows from the past and present knitted together to hint at the transient nature of time. The thrown ceramic lamps and hand-painted shades transform the gallery into a space that feels cosy and safe, mirroring the privacy of a bedroom. The artist emphasises the importance of these domestic comforts by elevating the lamps on custom plinths at the centre of the gallery.

The work encourages us to welcome a slower pace of life and to take pleasure in living in the moment. There is, however, an eerie and isolating undertone to the imagery. Hill likens this to the feeling of despair, as it slowly creeps into everyday existence, reminding us that life is a complex balance of good and bad experiences.

Launch 4 July 2025 | 6-8 PM (FREE)

Quartet of Painters

We are four local artists who are members of Hornsea Art Society and meet weekly in Hornsea as part of the Spectrum art group. Whilst there we can support each other to develop our individual painting styles and also challenge each other to try new techniques and mediums.

Our inspiration comes from the beautiful area in which we all live giving us a wealth of material to paint from landscapes and seascapes to flowers and animals.

We hope our very diverse painting styles will create an intriguing and reflective exhibition to inspire your imagination.

Pauline Birdi

I enjoy painting in watercolours, sometimes painting landscapes others times in painting a design concept I have thought out myself. I take my time with the details to ensure my finished picture is of a high quality. I am also becoming very interested in creating collage pictures that become semi abstract using a variety of materials including making my own collage paper to give my pictures a unique and personal finish.

About the Artists:

Aileen Marozzi

At the moment, I am painting in acrylics creating landscapes and seascapes from scenes of the beautiful local area where I live but sometimes I enjoy using pastels to give a different effect to the picture I am working on. Painting flowers in intricate detail is also something that appeals to me and keeps my creativity flowing. My new venture with this in mind is dabbling with strips of material to create a picture by sewing them with decorative thread to a canvas before they are mounted and framed.

Ann Roberts

I have created in several media types but currently I am working mostly in acrylics. My style could be described as semi abstract. I like to experiment with a range of colours not always realistic. I take my inspiration from the coast where I live and spend holidays and also from the countryside around me . My style is evolving and developing into one which represents my feelings about the land and seascapes which I see and enjoy.

Valerie Reeves

I have been enjoying painting with oils for decades but more recently have found that using Roofing slates make an excellent support for my work. They are then sealed and protected by three coats of yacht varnish. You can hang them indoors, on a Veranda, or outside where they can brighten up dark corners or fences in your garden.

Bananarchy!

As far back as the 16th Century there has been a market located at Hull’s marina, but it was throughout the 19th and 20th centuries that Humber Street rose to prominence as the third largest market in the UK importing fruit from all over the world.

Join us at Humber Street Gallery this summer as we explore this rich history in Bananarchy!, an interactive exhibition created by artist Pippa Hale. Taking place across two floors, audiences of all ages are invited to un-peel the history of Hull’s historic Fruit Market in an exhibition which prioritises sociality and play.

Bananarchy! will transform the gallery into a costumery reimagining colorful characters from the fruit trade. A nod to the Banana Ripening Stores once housed on the 2nd floor of Humber Street Gallery in the second half of the 20th century, the exhibition encourages you to connect with this evocative element of local history, through imagination and creativity

Pippa Hale is a contemporary artist based in Leeds. Her practice centres around social history, geography and play. Pippa has previously been commissioned by BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, York Railway Museum, Leeds City Council and more.

Portrait of Two Heads

This is an exhibition of impressionistic photographs taken in East Yorkshire. From the hard chalk cliffs around Flamborough Head to the low-lying, soft, shifting mud and sand of Spurn Head and the Humber margins, with stops along the coast.

The headlands lie at the northern and southern extremities of the East Riding. Each location has its own character, expressed in light, colour, shape, texture, interactions with sea and sky, flora and fauna.

This collection of digital images, especially created for Burton Constable’s gallery, reflects these aspects and creates an atmospheric portrait of the dramatic and unique coastline. It examines the nature of our senses, what we see and feel, in the meeting places of sea, land and sky.

Individually edited images highlight quiet as well as dramatic beauty, they maintain the essential nature of the scene, but stimulate fresh observations and refresh sensations of being there, in the viewer.

This is Steve’s 3^rd solo exhibition at Burton Constable Hall’s Stables Gallery and comprises of over 60 pieces, ranging in size. All the images are shot, edited and individually printed by the artist, in Hornsea.

About Steve Morantz

I am a photographer of landscapes and seascapes. I use the term ‘impressionistic photography’ for the images that I create. I love Holderness, the quiet countryside, the vigorous sea, the bird sanctuaries, the beaches and the mud cliffs, the summer warmth and the winter chill, the strong winds and the seaside rain.

I was born in Sheffield, my first experience of the East Riding was over 45 years ago, as a student at Hull University. I stayed for a few years and worked as Community Film and Photography Worker for Lincolnshire and Humberside Regional Arts Association in the early 80’s.

After many years out of the area, working in business research, I returned in 2021, to practice fully as an artist.

The Creature Feature

Created in response to my love of nature, the Creature Feature showcases pictures and wall hangings of mammals, birds and insects made from felt and often with 3D aspects to their features.

I use a palette of coloured Merino and Corriedale wool, wool locks from Wensleydale, Lincoln and Leicester longwool sheep breeds. Silks, Viscose and embellishments are used to create texture and depth, layering of materials to create the 3D effects. Each picture or wall hanging is unique due to the felting process, a combination of both wet and needle felting techniques.

About the Artist
Jane Higgins was born and raised in Hull and after university in the south of the UK returned to East Yorkshire to work. Initially Jane’s artistic focus was photography, and she became a member of the Royal Photographic Society following City and Guilds photography courses at a local gallery and adult education venues. These days Jane’s creative skills have developed into more tactile work with the focus on felting art which reflects her passion for nature.
