Earlier this year we all decided to have our first exhibition and I was really glad when A & K Wilson Gallery in Harpenden decided to host our paintings! I traveled to Harpenden, Henley and Chiswick to get some of the paintings in this exhibition done and also from my local studio area at Chelsea. The rest of the group have paintings from all over the UK, painted entirely outdoors under all weather conditions. To see the complete works in the exhibition click HERE
THE PAINTERS
ADEBANJI ALADE
Adebanji painting
Adebanji paints as he sketches with vitality, energy, deep concentration and flair! The results of his pieces are always alive and vibrant, the on-looker is served with reality seen in a shorthand of fluid painterly brushstrokes with blazing colour!
Summer Light, The Classic Bridge Chiswick
ANTHONY BRIDGE
Anthony Painting
Anthony paints with a calligraphic rendition of mark-making that breaks down the most complicated scene into an almost mosaic jigged fusion of paint on board or canvas. Alive, is the word when you behold his pieces!
Dusk over Pink
ROY CONNELLY
Roy Painting
Roy is a sensitive painter, choosing to combine lean under-painting with sudden streaks of alarming bold, thick colours-it's drama and mystery combined!
Carousel at Night (SOLD)
JOHN DOBBS
John Painting
Never have I seen a painter so bold in application. Unpretentious is the word, very much like the Russian painters who gleaned the late 1800's and early 1900's. He lays those flat shapes as he sees them, I'll love to borrow his eyes!
Gwenver Beach (SOLD)-Prof Ken Howard added this to his Prestigious Collection
DAVID PILGRIM
David Painting
Definitely one of the rising stars of the Plein Air Kingdom, he paints with a very calm, composed and classical approach, the results are always soothing, atmospheric and relaxing!
Kynance Cove
KARL TERRY
Karl Painting
He is a very powerful member of the group, taking on painting with so much desire, watching him paint is a delight- his brush strokes flow with skillful thoughtfulness, the effect is always beautiful to behold!
Beckley Birch Trees
