This November, Aleph Contemporary in Stroud is delighted to present "PEOPLE WATCHING," an evocative exhibition featuring the remarkable paintings of Howard Mason. Renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and vibrant portrayals of everyday life, Mason's work offers extraordinary insights into human interactions and emotions. His paintings invite viewers to explore the depths of human expression, capturing the subtle nuances of feelings and moods with striking clarity.
Mason's creative process is as intriguing as his art. He draws inspiration from spontaneous ideas, current affairs, and music, particularly song titles, which he skillfully translates onto canvas. His ability to render skin tones and textures with such precision allows him to convey the essence of his subjects, making each piece a window into the soul.
Critics have praised Mason's work for its storytelling prowess and its ability to find beauty in the ordinary. As D. Halliday aptly puts it, "You can see right into their souls. Great storytelling and wonderful 'ordinariness' in the best sense. Each of his paintings is like a chapter of Tolstoy."
Mason's accolades include features in Artist & Illustrator magazine, participation in the Sky Portrait Artist of the Year competition, and exhibitions at prestigious venues such as the Mall Galleries and the RWA Annual Exhibition. His work has also been showcased in private galleries across the UK and internationally.
"PEOPLE WATCHING" will be open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays, with additional viewings available by appointment. For more information, please contact 07935 976923.
