Featured Artists
Cedric Morris
Cedric Morris was a British artist, art teacher and plantsman. He was born in Swansea in South Wales, but worked mainly in East Anglia. Cedric grew up in Sketty, South Wales. On leaving school he spent his younger years intermittently abroad, regularly travelling across Europe and North Africa, whilst renting studios in
Cornwall, Paris and London. In the 1930s, Cedric and his partner, the artist Arthur Lett-Haines made Suffolk their permanent base, moving to Pound Farm in Higham where his garden became much admired. Morris developed a post-Impressionist style for portraits, landscapes and highly decorative style for still-life.
Glynn Thomas
Glynn Thomas was born in Cambridge in 1946. He studied at the Cambridge School of Art and then, for some twelve years, taught printmaking at the Ipswich School of Art. He is now a full time artist living in Suffolk. Glynn is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the country. Perhaps the most striking feature of his style is his impatient eagerness to embrace every feature of his subject even if this means defying visual convention. As Nicholas Butler has written, 'The perspective is cockeyed, note a few of the buildings are lying on their sides in their eagerness to be included, but there, in a single, friendly print, is the essence of the place.'
John Northcote Nash
John Northcote Nash was the younger brother of surrealist landscape artist Paul Nash.
Nash never received any formal art training. However, his elder brother Paul, who had studied at the Slade School of Art, encouraged him to develop his skills. A joint exhibition with Paul in 1913 was successful, and John was invited to become a founder-member of the London Group in 1914. From 1916 to 1918, Nash volunteered with the Artists Rifles in the First World War. At his brother’s recommendation, he became an official war artist. After the war He became a teacher, taking a position at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford from 1924 to 1929. In 1929, he bought a summer cottage in Essex, where he would turn his efforts to painting picturesque East Anglian landscapes.
Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known for her portraits, self-portraits, and
works inspired by the nature of Mexico. Kahlo had been a promising student
headed for medical school until she suffered a bus accident at the age of 18,
which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. During her recovery, she
returned to her childhood interest in art. In 1927 Kahlo met fellow Mexican
artist Diego Rivera. The couple married in 1929, and spent the late 1920s and
early 1930s travelling in Mexico and the United States together. During this
time, she developed her artistic style. In 1938 the artist André Breton arranged
for Kahlo’s first solo exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1938;
the exhibition was a success, and was followed by another in Paris in 1939.
From the exhibition The Louvre purchased a painting from Kahlo, The Frame,
making her the first Mexican artist to be featured in their collection. Kahlo’s
work as an artist remained relatively unknown until the late 1970s, when her
work was rediscovered by art historians and political activists.
