The influence of St Ives: summer of 2009.
















This summer I had the opportunity of touring the coast of Cornwall,spending several days in
St. Ives. Since my time at art college i have always loved the work of the St.Ives school of painters :ie work ranging from the quiet contemplative work of Ben Nicholson to the dynamic and expressive paintings of Peter Lanyon and Rodger Hilton whose work still looks fresh and relevent. Since returning i have been experimenting with simple little digitised images loosely
based upon the work of the artists mentioned above. These images have in turn given
rise to ideas for small acyrlic paintings.Posted are a selection of these digitised images,see what you think.
