V*Jazzle Jade is a joyful and affectionate celebration of Newcastle women, painted at the legendary Quayside Sunday Market — a much-loved Newcastle institution and favourite haunt during Sue Dewhurst’s student years in the city.

Part of the acclaimed Owd Lasses series, the painting captures Jade in full glamorous stride beneath the iconic Tyne Bridge, surrounded by the colour and bustle of the market. T Forever hopeful, forever “done up”, Jade represents the fierce humour, resilience and unapologetic sparkle of generations of Geordie women.You can almost smell the donuts. Like many of Sue Dewhurst’s narrative paintings, humour sits alongside tenderness and social observation. Beneath the fake tan, fizz and salon gossip lies a woman juggling disappointment, ambition, motherhood and the changing realities of getting older — all while refusing to lose her sense of glamour.

Rendered in rich colour and expressive brushwork, the painting blends Northern nostalgia, contemporary figurative art and storytelling into a striking conversation piece for the wall.

Ideal for collectors of Newcastle art, Northern narrative painting and contemporary British artwork celebrating working-class culture and identity.
