Jordanstown Art Club Annual Exhibition Thurs 7 March – Sat 30 March
Maurice Oliphant is a local Ballyclare artist who, after retiring from the commercial world of graphic design, has spent his retirement doing what he loves best - painting. Maurice’s repertoire includes a range of paintings focusing on The Ballyclare Mayfair and recently he has been specialising in portraiture and painting classic cars. This exhibition will include portraits of local sportsmen such as George Best, Joey Dunlop and Karl Frampton as well as world-renowned celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon.
Jordanstown Art Club has been successfully running for over 30 years. The club comprises keen amateur artists living in Newtownabbey and its neighbouring areas who meet to paint together and share their skills and techniques. The Club produces traditional landscapes, seascapes and still life along with modern acrylics, oils, pastels, watercolours and mixed media paintings. Always striving to improve and innovate, members are encouraged by monthly demonstrations given by professional artists and workshops where they can expand their knowledge of the arts.
