Hebden Bridge and the Upper Calder Valley has been a constant subject for artist Don Myers.

He has often taken a ‘sideways’ look at his local town with his ‘Hebden Homages’ paintings – homages to famous artists, set in Hebden Bridge, and his surreal ‘Beyond the Bridge’ drawings.

In this latest suite of 12 watercolour and gouache paintings, he has returned to imagery, themes and elements from previous paintings and has reimagined them in new settings and contexts, allowing greater personal reflection and echoing his recurring visual preoccupations: the landscape and townscape of the Upper Calder Valley, its atmosphere, its history and its people.
