Godfrey Tonks Exhibition


  • Northern Lights Gallery 22A Saint John's Street Keswick, England, CA12 5AS United Kingdom (map)

Godfrey is a full time painter, having exhibited in the Medici Gallery, London, for many years.

The NLG is proud to say we are the only gallery to now represent Godfrey's new paintings.

His works can be seen in many countries around the world, with his earlier output mainly being in mixed media and pastels, though he now works mainly in oils.

Godfrey lives in Cumbria with his work focussing on the beautiful fells that he now calls home.

From time to time, GT’s earlier paintings can be seen listed at both Christies or Philips auction houses. These are typically European landscapes.

Some of Godfrey's more recent paintings have definite overtones of (German) Expressionism, circa 1900+, some even exhibiting Fauvist tendencies.

Many of Godfrey's paintings unashamedly prioritise colour over subtle graduations, they're emotionally charged, there's an emphasis on the painting process rather than the creation necessarily of serene, self-contained form, however, that does not hold true throughout Godfrey's new body of work as I hope a few examples hear-in help articulate.
