WORK by two people from the Keighley district is to feature on the big screen in Bradford throughout next month and April.

Pieces produced by Haworth-based artist Judy Sale and the late Alex Keighley, a Steeton photographer, will appear as part of the Past and Present initiative.

The venture pairs past and present artists whose work is in a similar genre or style.

Silsden arts enthusiast Colin Neville, who manages the Not Just Hockney website, organises the bi-monthly big screen presentations.

He said: "The Bradford district has a strong cultural legacy in the visual arts and the link between the past and present will be an important factor in the current bid to become the City of Culture in 2025."

Judy is paired with Laimonis Mierins, who came to Britain as a refugee in 1947 and settled at Shipley.

He attended part-time art classes, whilst working in local mills, and became a successful abstract painter and acclaimed art teacher. He died in 2011.

Judy, originally from the USA, says of her own artwork: "The dialogue between me and the canvas, with every mark I make, creates new problems to be resolved. If I fail, I don’t hang about. Sometimes it’s best to leave and come back later or move on with a coat of white. This way texture is built up in unimaginable ways and imagery emerges that would not have occurred otherwise."

Alex Keighley is paired-up with photographer Liza Dracup.

A leading member of the Linked Ring group, Alex – who died in 1947 – was a pioneer of photography as an art form.

He exhibited widely in Britain and overseas and was an important figure behind the formation of the Yorkshire Photographic Union.

His photos can still be seen today on display at Cliffe Castle in Keighley.

Bradford-born Liza follows in his pictorial tradition. She says: "My work focuses on the value of the ‘local’ from an environmental and personal perspective, by utilising the transformational qualities of photography."

A third pairing in the March/April presentation is Bradford-born painter Richard Eurich, who died in 1992, and Saltaire-based artist/photographer Ian Burdall. They were paired because of their maritime and coastal paintings.

The work will feature daily on the big screen, at 12.30pm.

The Not Just Hockney website was launched in 2015 and now profiles around 450 professional visual artists who have Bradford-district connections, past and present – go to notjusthockney.info.
