                    Figures and Wigan

 

 

Perhaps the work James Lawrence Isherwood is most well known for. His telling, superb and simplistic images of Wigan and it's people. He once stated  'He would rather paint a shawled old lady from Wigan, than any famous person" .Wigan figure works are fiercely collected. His figures always painted with a swift action of the palette knife, with little correction.
