About the book >.>.> Published to coincide with a major new exhibition at the Shipley Art Gallery Gateshead this book explores artist Naomi Alexander’s approach to painting and drawing interiors over the past 50 years. Some of the works are the results of specific commissions and include paintings of Birch Grove home of the Macmillan family and Chatsworth House painted in situ when Naomi was invited by the 11th Duke of Devonshire to document the attics of the house. Another set of works shows the interiors Naomi painted whilst artist in residence at Europas Parkas Sculpture Museum in Vilnius Lithuania. The most recent series shows the interiors of homes of members of the Orthodox Jewish community in Gateshead. Paintings of her own homes in London and Israel are also included. Nicholas Usherwood art critic and writer on contemporary art and culture provides an illuminating introductory essay about the artist’s work and there are comments from the artist throughout. (MP)
