A Word from Rob Sutton the Artist

Gathering Storm – The Derby is a painting I have had great enjoyment creating. For anyone who has had the privilege of attending one of Hull’s famous derby matches, will appreciate the stormy atmosphere, the tension and anticipation that build in the cauldron surrounding “The Derby”.
I am an avid rugby league supporter and could see no better backdrop to try and capture the atmosphere and pay tribute to both the game and the fans.
My art work is very personal to me and originals stay close to my heart; However good friends have a daughter currently receiving Cancer treatment at Christies. I could think of nothing else more fitting but to donate this piece to the Steve Prescott Foundation and its outstanding achievements in supporting both “The Christie” and “Try Assist”.
The piece is an Original Oil on Canvas 40”(101.5cm) x 24”(61cm)

A word from Steve Prescott MBE


This is a fantastic gesture from Rob. It is an incredible painting and captures the atmosphere of the Hull Derby. A gesture like Rob’s inspires me to carry on with my challenges and raise money for the people who supported me in my darkest hour. It is great that the picture that will benefit the youth of both clubs as well as the SPF. It took Rob 100 hours to paint, the depth and quality of his work is phenomenal. This painting is unique and would be pride of place in any Hull or Hull KR fans Dining Room.


A word from Charlie Newham, owner of the Myton Gallery.

This rapidly emerging artist has come to prominence within the past 12 months, with a feature piece in The Journal in 2010 showcasing his stunning first collection of superb original oil paintings limited editions of which are on display at Myton Gallery. After two well-received years of entry in The Open Exhibition at Ferens Art Gallery, Rob's reputation continues to grow, with his pictures much sought-after by collectors - his original paintings rarely available for sale to the general public.

Saw the picture in Ferens and coveted it then. Beautifully executed and composed - almost as if the KC is set in some Nordic fantasy land. Wish I had the readies to invest - missed out on a Sid Domic original too at the time. False economy. This picture is worth 4 figures and can't see it depreciating.

Look at the thread over on the VT and you'll see that PHIPPS reckons it looks like Mount Fuji

At least he seems to have bu$$ered off from here. Hats off to his pigeon, in trying to donate some new brains to him.

As I said on that thread:

and i thought i had a chance with my bid of £120.

Buy a raffle ticket Dave, we will sort it lol
