John Arthur Dees Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

1876-1959

John Arthur Dees was a landscape, cattle and portrait painter in oil and watercolor. Dees was born in Newcastle and studied at the School of Art Gateshead winning gold medals in 1895 and 1896 but decided on a career in commerce. He first exhibited at the Berwick Club where he gained a reputation for his landscapes. Dees became friendly with several artists including John Atkinson. He exhibited at the Artists of the Northern Counties exhibition from its inception in 1905. Dees first exhibited outside the north in 1911 at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours and in 1913 sent the first of two works to the Royal Academy. Dees exhibited throughout his life in the North and was represented by Laing Gallery, Newcastle and the Shipley Gallery, Gateshead.

Koi Pond Conclave - Japanese Style Gyotaku Painting on Archival Kraft Paper
By Jeff Conroy
Located in Chicago, IL
In Japan they are known as Nishikigoi, or living jewels. These brilliantly colored varieties of the Amur carp have been selectively bred by family owned fisheries for generations. When I began this series of Gyotaku (Japanese fish printing) I studied the many varieties of Koi, each with their own unique colors and patterns. My particular favorites are the Tanchos which can be identified by the distinct red spot on their heads. To create these pieces I print common carp I catch myself with sumi ink using traditional techniques used by Japanese fisherman...

Jeff Conroy Cheetahpus sumi ink and watercolor on mulberry paper 25h x 36.50w in 63.50h x 92.71w cm JEC080 Gyotaku - A Japanese word translated from "gyo" meaning fish and "taku" meaning stone impression and is believed to get its inspiration from Chinese stone rubbings of calligraphy, which then gave rise to printing . This tradition dates back to the mid-1800s and was used by fishermen to record their catches, but has also become an art form of its own. Prints were made using Sumi ink and Washi paper. It is rumored that Samurai would settle fishing competitions using Gyotaku prints. This original form of Gyotaku is still utilized today, and can be seen hanging in fish and tackle shops all...
