Sarah Young & Al Heighton to exhibit at Hornseys'

We have just introduced the work of two fine British original print-makers to our gallery here in Ripon.

Sarah Young is a Painter, Printmaker, Illustrator and maker. Her work is often narrative, inspired by and referencing, myth, folk tales, circus and burlesque imagery. Sarah Young has worked as an illustrator for many years becoming best known for her black and white scraperboard work. She is currently working on a major book of Greek Myths for a leading publisher. Sarah has been well known for her lino and wood cuts, but also works in screenprinting and has recently been developing new methods of working in monoprint and collagraph.

Sarah has exhibited her prints and paintings at many galleries and exhibitions around the country including Affordable Art Fair, Brighton Art Fair, Brighton and Arundel Open Houses, Pallant House (Bookshop), Brewery Arts Cirencester, Rye Art Gallery, Castor and Pollux Brighton, Model House Gallery Llantrisant, Bonhoga Gallery Shetland, and Cambridge Contemporary Arts amongst others.
Sarah is also founder and director of Brighton Art Fair and MADE - Brighton's Design and Craft Fair. We hold a good stock of her work with prices from £25 upwards.

Al Heighton is a cheeky chap from South Yorkshire. He studied graphic design at the University of Salford; where he gravitated to illustration to make folk smile and for its immediacy in communication. Since he graduated in 2001 he has constantly worked as an illustrator in most fields. Al has produced work for the Arctic Monkeys "Favourite worst nightmare" album cover. He has produced numerous works for editorial clients including the Guardian for the sport section. He exhibits widely, and galleries include Castor and Pollux in Brighton and the Rowley Gallery in London. Al argues he still doesn't know the 'off side" rule in football. In 2005 Al was a runner up for "Creative Futures" in Creative Review. Al describes his work as sitting somewhere in between an adult world, the fashion world and a child's world often peppered with wit. His other passion includes cycling, reading, drinking tea and indeed thinking about his next piece of artwork...
