A NORTH Yorkshire artist who carried off one of the art world’s leading awards is staging an exhibition at Tenants Auction House to show off his work.
Alister Colley was awarded the title of Best Selling UK Artist in the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards following in the footsteps of previous great artists Jack Vettriano and MacKenzie Thorpe who have also won the award.
Louise Hay, of the Fine Art Trade Guild, said: "Alister Colley is a deserving winner of the Guild's fiercely contested Best Selling Published Artist Award. His vibrant style is incredibly popular with galleries and collectors alike, who recognise both his considerable technical skill and the tremendous charm of his vision of the world.”
Mr Colley said: "I am totally overwhelmed that my painting has afforded me such a wonderful position. I am over the moon to be elevated to this level, and to be recognised as such by the Fine Art Trade Guild. “
The artist runs an art publishing company in Pateley Bridge, near Harrogate, Zeitgeist Fine Art. He is staging an exhibition of his latest works in the Garden Room at Tennants Auctioneeers in Leyburn from September 3, along with fellow Zeitgeist artists Izzy Hodge, Kate Hunt and Joseph Hayton.
