About The Artwork

The history of the North-east of England inspired this painting - based on an old black & white archive photo, I used this as a basis for the composition, but then using skeleton reference shots I adapted the men in the picture to become skeletons. The idea is these are historical sanctuaries where working class men gathered after a hard day's graft. The skeletons are symbolic of the dying breed of these institutions, they do still exist but are under threat. The barmaid remains in human form and I wanted to keep her very contrasting in terms of white to reflect an almost holiness to her and the loyalty she provides the regulars at the bar.

Inspired by mid-twentieth century monochrome photography and found objects, William seeks to create bold visual stories which hold a strong sense of ambiguous narrative and intrigue, ranging in theme from the socially historic to the surreal. William produces original paintings and drawings, as well as scaled-down high quality framed art prints of his work - all of which can be purchased directly from this website. As well as continuously producing original works, it is also possible to request a private commission. William also established Gateshead Open Studios in 2018 - the very first open studios event in the area. Following a similar model to Ouseburn’s Open Studios, this event differed slightly in that it also included historical & cultural venues - as Gateshead has a rich history of grand churches & Quaker houses well worth exploring. Despite the recent events of the COVID-19 pandemic and needing to cancel the 2020 event, the hope is to resume in 2021 if all goes well
