Drawn together by a passionate belief in paint as an expressive contemporary medium, North East painters Harry Bell, Ian Bennett, Frank Briffa and Maureen Stephenson joined forces in 2004 to show together as Figure 8.
As individual artists, we've all shown extensively in the North East and throughout the UK with work in private collections both here and abroad and also in public buildings in the UK.
Forthcoming exhibitions include:-
2007
- 4th November for 4 weeks Guild Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne
2008
- 11th January to 1st March Gateshead Library
- 11th April to 31st May Myles Meehan Gallery, Darlington Arts Centre, Vane Terrace, Darlington
- 4th June for 6 weeks Corner Gallery, The Biscuit Factory
- 28th July to 23rd August Tom McGuinness Gallery, Town Hall, Bishop Auckland
Further detailed information will be circulated nearer the individual show dates for exhibitions in 2008. We'll also be posting information here on the blog.
What else will appear on the Figure 8 blog? That remains to be seen. This is something of an experiment, but each member of the group will be able to post as and when they want to.

As a member of Figure8 I've been trying to add my profile to the blog- haven't figured out how to do this yet so this will have to do for now.Thanks for setting it up Harry - it looks good and I'm sure it will greatly help to promote Figure8.
Thanks Harry. I think this blog will serve us very well. Once we get to grips with it, can we download images as well? Mo.
Frank - I hope you can get registered soon. The next step will be to get the blog known. Until people actually read it, it does no good whatsoever.
Mo - we can, in fact, upload pictures. Demonstration coming up.
The image looks good - you'll have to show me how you did that.
Hi, made it at last. This time a different form appeared and lo, here I am. When I have recovered I'll have to learn how to download one of my images. Anyway, many thank for getting it off the ground. It looks good.
No, you need to *download* Picasa so that you *upload* your images. It'll become clear soon, I'm sure.
