Grab a look at this art show filled with North East passion - and you can even buy exhibits

The stunningly nostalgic paintings of a Tyneside-raised artist have gone on show - and you can buy one.

Richard Hobson’s depiction of ‘the bleakness and the beauty’ of the North East is on display at South Shields Museum & Art Gallery.

The Newcastle-raised artist died in 2004 but his much-loved work captures everything from power stations to shipyards and windswept coastlines.
