Grant Searl The Northerner

Born into a family of mines based in the North of England. Grant Searl - The Northerner draws his inspiration from the mines and mines in the local area. Working in charcoal, he feels the drawings have a connection with the materials his father and grandfather mined from the ground. Although the subject matter has been depicted time and time again. The Northerner feels his latest releases offer a unique insight into the real working lives of the miners. This style is primarily figurative and incorporates the gritty reality of everyday working people's lives, whilst reflecting the warmth and spirit of friendship, family and community.
