Councillor Rob Pritchard, portfolio holder for culture and leisure, said the gallery was “very excited to have the opportunity to secure these two fantastic artworks”. <\/p>\n
“The early artworks he [Ferens] acquired for the people of Hull included maritime subjects such as Herbert James Draper’s iconic Ulysses and the Sirens and have resulted in the creation of a Designated Maritime Art collection of local, national and international significance.<\/p>\n
“We are very pleased to be able to add Emma Stibbon and Abe Odedina’s works to this, continuing the story of maritime art and bringing fresh perspectives to the collection for the people of Hull to enjoy and engage with.”<\/p>\n
