Vic Reeves art exhibition at Harrogate gallery

An exhibition of original art by the comedian Vic Reeves is on display at Red House Originals Gallery in Harrogate.

The exhibition, called Yorkshire Rocks and Dinghy Fights, includes several paintings of Brimham Rocks.

Leeds-born Mr Reeves, a keen artist who exhibits under his real name Jim Moir, is a frequent visitor to the National Trust site near Pateley Bridge.

The exhibition, featuring work priced up to £12,500, also includes paintings that show his love of birds and shoes, as well as art highlighting his surreal sense of humour.

Mr Reeves attended the opening of the exhibition, which was extended by a week due to demand. Saturday will be the last day.

Dave McTague, who is responsible for marketing at the gallery, said:

“We’ve had a phenomenal response to it. We’ve had people travelling from all over the country.”

Red House Originals Gallery, on Cheltenham Mount, is owned by Richard McTague, nephew of Paul McTague, who owns the McTague of Harrogate gallery next door.

While McTague of Harrogate features traditional art, Red House focuses on pop art, modern art and contemporary work, often showcasing Yorkshire artists.
