Untitled Promenade Painting (Bombardment- for Theo Jones)
Narbi Price, 2020
Narbi Price’s Untitled Promenade Painting (Bombardment – for Theo Jones) shows the site in Hartlepool where Private Theophilus Jones was killed on 16 December 1914, the first soldier to die on British soil during the First World War. Jones, who was manning the Heugh Battery, died during an early-morning bombardment on the town by German warships.
Price is an artist known for his paintings of places with unique stories attached to them. He was born in Hartlepool and studied at the Northern School of Art and Newcastle University.
In 2020, Price co-curated ‘Century’, an exhibition staged to mark the centenary of Hartlepool Art Gallery’s original incarnation as the Gray Museum and Art Gallery. He made Untitled Promenade Painting specially for this exhibition.
