Featured Artists
Linda Richardson
Linda Richardson is an Essex born artist-printmaker who has now made her home on the beautiful Shetland Islands. After a 2 year foundation course, Linda studied printmaking at the Colchester School of Art, 1976-1979. She still has close ties with East Anglia but now finds inspiration from the wildlife and varied landscape that Shetland provides. Her printmaking encompasses both linocuts and etching. As a painter she works in acrylic, watercolour or mixed media.
August Macke
August Macke was a German Expressionist painter and one of the leading members of the group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). Macke studied at the Düsseldorf Academy from 1904 to 1906. During his first trip to Paris in 1907 he was profoundly influenced by the work of the Impressionist painters. In 1909 Macke again visted Paris and on this
trip discovered the work of Henri Matisse and the other Fauve artists. This convinced Macke to use brighter, less-naturalistic colours, applied in broad brushstrokes. In 1911 Macke joined Der Blaue Reiter, which had been founded by Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky. In 1912 Macke met the French painter Robert Delaunay, who worked in a colourful Cubistinfluenced style. Subsequently, Macke introduced a Cubist style into his own paintings.
Laura Knight
Dame Laura knight was an English landscape and figurative painter. Laura studied at Nottingham School of Art in 1900, where she met Harold Knight. After marrying in 1903, they joined an artists' colony at Staithes, Yorkshire, before moving in 1908 to Newlyn, Cornwall. In 1936 she became only the second woman elected to full membership of the Royal Academy. Her large retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1965 was the first for a woman. In her long career, Knight was among the most successful and popular painters in Britain. Her success in the male-dominated British art establishment paved the way for greater status and recognition for women artists. She was also greatly interested in, and inspired by, marginalised communities and individuals, including Romani people and circus performers.
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.'
