Leigh Lambert

Leigh Lambert was born in 1979 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and moved to Warwickshire at the age of 17, where he still lives and works today. Largely self-taught, despite early encouragement from his family, he paints in oils on board from a garden studio, translating memory into image.

Distance from his birthplace sparked a romanticisation of Newcastle's industrial heritage, and that nostalgia runs through his work: post-war British industrial imagery and childhood scenes rendered in near-monochrome, with minimal colour used deliberately to highlight the human elements within otherwise grey, weathered settings.

Lambert was shortlisted for Best Up and Coming Artist at the 2014 Fine Art Trade Guild Awards, and his work is held in private and public collections worldwide. He is also a published author, with his book Those Were The Days released in 2017.

At Dane Manor Fine Art, his collections include Pride of Britain, Crash Bang Wallop and The Good Old Days, with individual limited edition prints such as Lazy Sunday Afternoon and Driving Home For Christmas capturing his warm, nostalgic take on British life.
