SUMMARY:Hidden Away: The Unseen Paintings of Derek Higginson – Preview
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to our exhibition preview “Hidden Away”:\nDEREK JAMES HIGGINSON 1930-2020  North Staffordshire Artist\nDerek Higginson was born in the city of Stoke-on-Trent in 1930. He passed away in 2020 after living for the previous 50 years in the Staffordshire Moorlands with his wife June.\nDerek gained his National Diploma in Lithography and Design at the Burslem School of Art. After completing National Service in the Royal Air Force he went on to work in the pottery industry and then as a teacher in local schools and in the prison service.\nDerek was proud to be a founder member of both the Unit Ten Art Society and of the Staffordshire Art Club as well as being an elect member of the Staffordshire Society of Artists.\nHis work is highly-distinctive – drawing on the inspiration of growing-up in the Potteries community or of his extensive travels in Europe or of the sacrifice of family and citizens in the wars of the twentieth century.\nCollectors of his work can be found across Europe and the United States of America and we hope to build on that knowledge and appreciation of Derek in this previously unseen collection, here in Leek, in the Staffordshire Moorlands that meant so much to Derek.\nThis exhibition has been supported by the Burslem Community Development Trust.\nExhibition Sat 1st July to Sat 5th August\n\n\n The Gallery will be open from Wednesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm each week, and the first Sunday in each month, 11am to 4pm.\n\n\n
