I have been wandering about local galleries the past month over North Wiltshire, West Wiltshire, Kennet and South Wiltshire and found that the numerous galleries be they in Chippenham Wiltshire or Malmesbury Wiltshire are packed with some fantastic regional artists works and a number of brilliant national artists prints. I thought I would provide a break down of some excellent painters who’s work is around at the moment that are producing pieces that are of benefit having a look at. Art is for everyone and a decent print placed in the correct area of a room can make all the difference to the atmosphere.
The first artist I wanted to look at is the Scottish artist Jack Vettriano who I feel is painting brilliant pieces of art if you are into film noir. For me when I look at his work I get the feeling of looking at a clip from an American detective series or a scene from Miss Marple. Sounds a little flippant perhaps but add to that a strong aura of sensuality and strength and you will begin to get a sense of his work. Jack Vettriano’s work can be seen in print all over the planet and develops strong tones to a place when you want to add depth and feeling.
The second artist I wanted to moves away from moody tones to uplifting large characters. I feel Beryl Cook was one of Britain’s greatest creaters of United Kingdom character scenes. Many people will see her painted people as big ladies by the seaside, but the range of her paintings brings large quantities of humour to real scenes of real people having a moment. Look at her work as I’m sure she will make you smile, her work is bright and lifts the mood of a place.
The 3rd Artist I wanted to share with you is Philip Gray the Irish artist who produces gorgeous atmospheric scenes that are so dramatic and awe inspiring that you really sense how it must have been to be looking onto them yourself. His work is very thought provoking using colours that only nature’s stunning sunsets and dawns can reveal. There is always a sense of dramatic quiet about his paintings and is really worth a look if you like dramatic landscapes. Most homes will benefit from pieces of this artists work.
The 4th Artist I needed to speak about was Duncan Macgregor who makes scenes that reflect his love of the ocean. Many of his paintings have boats travelling through their canvas which for those that love the ocean like myself puts in points of focus in very reflective scenes of the sea. His work is often quite striking using contrasting colours to show the contrasts of the ocean.
These are good painters to look at to give you a wide range of styles that show the huge impact art can have on yourself or other people as they go into a room. Art I think should be something that allows you to dream about something else outside of your day to day. It can make all the difference to a room with empty walls, adding just the touch you want to show an aspect of self.
