Featured Artists
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.'
Harold Harvey
Harold Harvey was a Newlyn School painter who painted scenes of Cornish fishermen, farmers and miners and Cornish landscapes. He was born in Penzance and trained at the Penzance School of Arts and the Académie Julian in Paris. After completing his schooling in Paris, Harvey returned to Penzance and began working as an artist. In 1911, Harvey married fellow artist Gertrude Bodinnar and they settled in Newlyn. Gertrude became an artist in her own right in a wide range of visual and textile arts. Harvey never achieved his due critical acclaim. However, he was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1898-1941 and held several one-man exhibitions in London, at the Mendoza Galleries, Barbizon House and the Leicester Galleries.
Eric Ravilious
Eric Ravilious was an artist, illustrator and designer specialising in watercolour paintings of the British countryside, most famously of Sussex. Ravilious had a special connection to the area, as he grew up there and studied at the Eastbourne School of Art. He went on to study at the Royal College of Art and later became one of the most popular artists of the 1930s.
Bernard Cheese
Bernard Cheese studied at Beckenham School of Art and, following four years in the army, studied in London at the Royal College of Art from 1947, where his teachers included Edward Bawden. He taught printmaking at St Martin’s School of Art from 1950 to 1968, then at Goldsmiths College from 1970 to 1978, and Central School of Art and Design (1980–89). He designed posters for London Transport. He also did commissions for Guinness and the BBC. In the 1950s he moved to the artists’ community of Great Bardfield in Essex. His works are in the collections of the Tate, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the British Royal Collection, the British Government Art Collection, the New York Museum of Modern Art, and the New York Public Library.
