Heads & Tales - on show in the Corridor Gallery
Next time you're visiting our Salisbury Studios, explore Nick Leavey's collection in the Corridor Gallery.
I love portraiture. Mostly oils, these are some of the pieces I have painted during the last few years at the Atelier.

The pieces you see in the corridor are part of my collection of artworks, which I have been acumulating for the past twenty years or so.
The collection is eclectic, -no ‘curatorial premise’- with each piece having a story to it. Some pieces are simply works that appealed to me at the time.
Some, like the works by Alan Brown, serve to remind me of a friend who was achieving so much and died far too young.
Others I bought from local Redcliffe Artists (Cheryl Nugent, Jamie Condon, Barry Kidd, Nan Dingle, Ken Casperson, Lola McFarlane) when I lived there.
More recent additions, like the pieces by Scott Breton and Penny Gilbert-Ng, are pieces which I admire for their technical prowess, and -as is the case with all of the other pieces- for their inherent beauty.
Moving house, changing taste, sweepng changes to lifestyle, for some of this work, it is the first time I have seen it in nearly ten years. I hope you enjoy the collection as much as I do.
