About this piece:
Lucy Pittaway’s Arts and Culture
is close to the hearts of everyone at the Artmarket Gallery – it depicts Stage1
of the 2018 Tour de Yorkshire, which is on our home
turf, passing many of our favourite locations, including the Artmarket’s home
town, Cottingham.
Stage 1 starts at nearby Beverley and ends at
Doncaster, with the minsters of both towns representing them in the painting. The
vibrant red poppies in the foreground are, says Lucy, ‘not only representative
of the time of year and the beautiful colours of the Yorkshire landscape but a
link to the ceramicist Paul Cummings who created the poppies for the Tower Of
London memorial.’ And don’t forget to check out the wording on that plane
banner!
Lucy’s artwork at the Artmarket Gallery is printed on archival quality
315gsm fine art paper using industry standard light-fast inks. Each print is
numbered and personally signed by the artist and carries the official art work
for the Tour de Yorkshire 2018 embossed stamp.
