ONE-ONLY FRAMED PICTURE FOR JUST £1,299 ~ SAVE £171

If you are an afficionado of the world-famous maritime artist Steven Dews you will be aware of his magnificent picture of the Battle of Trafalgar which when finished in 2005 sold for more than £90,000 at Bonham’s Auction in London.

After seven years of painstaking research and painting, a panel of maritime historians approved the accuracy of the fine detail in the 66-inch-wide x 40-inch-high oil painting. But despite its historical theme and great accuracy, the picture remains a bright, vivacious, outstanding and above all contemporary picture.

A limited edition of prints was published from the original, including a print at the same 66×40-inch size as the original picture.

We have one of these big limited-edition canvas prints magnificently framed in a stunning 3-inch-wide gold frame to sell at a discount of nearly 12% — £1,299 instead of the usual framed price of £1,470. That’s a saving of £171.

It is first-come-first-served, sold as seen, ex-exhibition stock and lovers of naval history and the sea will find it truly beautiful. The picture can be inspected at our gallery any weekday from 10 a.m. to 5p.m.

A monster of the deep rubs shoulders with a monster of the shallows in the latest art exhibition “In the Water” at Artists Harbour Gallery, the fine art gallery in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

The monster of the deep is the legendary RMS Titanic, captured close up through the lens of South Coast photographer Rob Goldsmith. In 2005 Rob was lucky enough to win a competition to dive down and photograph the final resting place of the “unsinkable” luxury liner that met a North Atlantic iceberg and took hundreds of passengers to their deaths on her maiden voyage in 1912. Rob has produced two stunning colour photo prints of the great barnacle-encrusted ship for Artists Harbour.

Pictures of swimmers nervously rub shoulders in the exhibition with a monster of the shallows, a fearsomely toothed 9ft. alligator with jaws like a steel trap … literally. Artist-blacksmith Steve Woodbridge made the impressive reptile from scrap steel. Steve is a member of The Guild of Wrought Ironwork Craftsmen of Wessex and uses forging techniques, flame cutting and welding to produce his stunning one off pieces.

Elsewhere in the exhibition, photographs of a junked bike and tyres in a stream jostle with more sparkling by Justin Parry, sexy textile mermaids by former Portsmouth College of Art and Design teacher Heather Lipscombe and installations of both video art (underwater swimmers by Denise Callender) and the sounds of Mongolian rivers, springs, waterfalls and ice recorded by Simon Whetham, the first time Artists Harbour has exhibited video and sound pieces.

Other featured artists include: Mary Chidlow, Rosy Maguire, Martin Piercy, Sue Oliver, Lyneth Howells, Julien Masson, Tracey Betts, Hilary Barry, Clare Flynn, Shaun Hall, Enzo Marra and Julie Scrivens.
