Bradford's Trapezium Gallery is pleased to present 'Land/Marks' by Bill Parker, an artist who lives and works in Haworth, West Yorkshire. Bill is an old friend of Trapezium, his work formed part of ‘Water, Structure and Life’ our very first exhibition in September 2018, so it seems apt that he is returning to the gallery on our fifth anniversary with a full exhibition of his remarkable paintings.

“These recent paintings, while diverse in outcomes, are the result of daily walks and experiences on the moors and hills above Haworth – famed as the countryside in Wuthering Heights. Made over a two-year period in all weathers and seasons, they are the result of a daily studio practice following each excursion. Using visual record, memory and transcription of scenes, the resulting paintings are a personal expression of the fleeting light and colours and the forever changing moods and atmospheres of the moorlands. The notes may change but the song remains the same…”   - Bill Parker

Bill moved to Yorkshire to teach at Keighley College, while gaining a Masters degree in Printmaking at Bradford College. Since leaving education he has continued his art practice, primarily as a painter. As an active studio holder with Keighley Creative, he exhibits regularly in community and commercial venues.
