Happy birthday

To tie in with Duckett and Jeffreys 4th birthday, Sally Taylor has returned with “Confused Heads” 

In 2010 Duckett and Jeffreys launched with its inaugural show ‘Mouths and Triangles’, by Sally Taylor with the aim of showing contemporary art that would both excite and challenge, the kind of work that was rarely seen in a Market Town or rural location.


Owned and curated by artists and partners Ian and Stef Mitchell, Duckett and Jeffreys quickly has established itself as a leading Northern contemporary gallery providing a much needed space for artists to show, sell and reflect on their work by exhibiting a solo show.


Four years later Duckett and Jeffreys has developed into a nomadic, multi space gallery with the aim of reaching an even wider audience, taking Duckett and Jeffreys into towns, cities and rural locations. 


Since her first show at Duckett and Jeffreys Sally has gone form strength to strength, being selected for the third time for the Jerwood Drawing Prize; representing Britain in ‘Afternoon Tea’, with WW Gallery at the 54th Venice Biennale; having a solo show ‘Marks and Mouths’ at MIMA, Middlesbrough and being included in Drawing Paper 6. Co-curated with Gavin Delahunty, Tate Liverpool.

In “Confused Heads” Sally is exhibiting recent work where she has introduced gaffer tape into her drawing. Older work is also available.


Sally’s considered and yet intuitive approach to mark making results in a highly personal visual language which communicates directly with the viewer. Her use of her body within these drawings is also apparent, bridging the imagination and resultant image, with gestural mark making, acting as a reminder of the importance of physicality in the daily act of communication.

Confused Heads runs until Mon 1st April - Throughout this time we will be open daily 11am to 6pm but are more than happy to do evening viewings by appointment

How time flies

Can't believe it was 4 years ago that this photo was taken showing us preparing with Sally Taylor for the first ever Duckett and Jeffreys Exhibition. We have now moved out of the Malton venue and are very excited to be developing as a nomadic gallery with bases at Staithes and Sledmere.

And out came the sunshine

After the coldest May for who knows how long the sun shone down on the DJ Touring Gallery as we made our second excursion out of 2012. Hare's Eye Art Fair was the event, the first of hopefully many more, set in the exquisite gardens at Nawton Towers, tucked away on a hillside in North Yorkshire.

Shadow Dance


EMMA LAWRENSON

Somewhere in-between

9th May – 9th June
"… simplicity is everything"
Even the shadows are falling into line with the geometric and organic.
Fragments of architecture, nature and the landscape of Yorkshire have all provided stimulus for this exhibition presented as hard-edged geometric linear abstractions and contrasting fluid organic forms.

Every Studio Should Have an Amp


Had a fun time meeting the lovely Simon Woolham at the amazing studio complex of Wysing Arts Centre. We now have a fantastic consignment of prints made by Simon and the very talented Tamarind Master Printer Lee Turner. 






Simon's prints will be on show in September as part of the concluding exhibition that closes Duckett and Jeffreys Print Season, but for anyone eager to take a pre show peek - please don't hesitate to ask.
