About Raymond Campbell:

Born in Surrey, England, in 1956, Raymond Campbell discovered a natural ability and interest in art whilst attending the local High School. Painting seriously from 1975, it was not until 1978 that Ray Campbell was able to travel extensively throughout the UK and Europe. From here his career began to take shape when he studied the 19th century masters intensively, in particular the Dutch painters whose style was greatly to influence his own, inspiring him to paint in the Flemish tradition. He has now developed his own individual style that is widely recognised and greatly admired.

During the last ten years Raymond Campbell has exhibited in group exhibitions at home and abroad and he has been successful at the prestigious Summer Exhibition held at the Royal Academy.

Paul Jenkins Biography

Paul Jenkins was born in the West Midlands, England in 1949 and started his career in art in the early 70's sculpting in wood and then found himself drawn to sculpting in clay and wax. Paul then went on to study ceramics at Dudley College of Art.

Within five years Paul had a growing customer base that included galleries, private collectors as well as the general public. Paul then sold the business to concentrate on more exclusive art work rather than the mass market pieces he had successfully produced in the past.

Following on from this he then went on to work as a commercial designer for various companies around the world including the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It was there where he was commissioned to reproduce the exact size, shape and colour of a rare l850's tea pot which was exhibited at the museum. Further copies were sold onto galleries and private collectors. Paul has also created more outlandish pieces such as 6 Ten-foot Art Deco Figures for the interior of a night club.

Paul has also sculpted several pieces for the National Trust which were then presented to people for their outstanding contributions within the trust.

Paul's Inspirations come from his love of nature especially animals. Many of his pieces are inspired from direct observations of wild animals in their natural habitat.

What is Raku?

Raku originated in Japan in the 16th century, where raku vessels were and still are used in the traditional tea ceremony. It is a low-fire technique, where bisqued work is quickly heated to red hot temperature and then taken out of the kiln and reduced in wood shavings, newspaper or a similar combustible material. Raku ware is decorated with low-fire glazes, which usually contain a lot of frit. The clays used for this firing technique contain a high percentage of grog, so the work will be able to withstand the high temperature fluctuations, although this doesn't mean that other clays can't be used.

Paul James Madge & The Big Yin

After several months in the USA, Paul James is back with a fantastic new limited edition release entitled Madge!

"This is a pedigree Simmental cow. She was being exhibited at the Leicester County Show a number of years ago. I just loved the expression on her face, she looks so doleful" - Paul James

"Madge" is a great opportunity for Paul James collectors who missed out on purchasing "Adrian" when he was first released at only £199 - "Adrian" now changes hands in excess of £1000 when he rarely comes onto the secondary market.

"Madge" is supplied print only at £235 through a small number of exclusive galleries and can be purchased online at http://www.hepplestonefineart.com/. Low edition numbers currently available!

The demand for Paul James' older releases remains strong with rarer pieces changing hands at mutiples of their original publication prices. We are delighted to have been able to obtain a rare Paul James piece, The Big Yin, that has been sold out at the publisher for some time.

To secure your copy of The Big Yin, please contact Hepplestone Fine Art on 01257 451121 or order online at http://www.hepplestonefineart.com/. Don't delay, it won't be available for long!

Ant & Dec by Toni Hargreaves

George by Toni Hargeaves

Mildred by Toni Hargreaves

Toni Hargreaves is a very accomplished artist who has for a long time specialised in traditional wildlife and bird paintings, perhaps inspired by her one time art teacher, the great Michael Jackson.

Toni's new style combines here fantastic skills for producing great realism in her paintings with a contemporary and humourous twist. With small initial edition sizes and a relatively low RRP's compared to established peers such as Caroline Shotton, the new editions are expected to sell out quickly.
