Profile

David Taylor was born in Lancashire he began his career as an architect, after having extensively travelled the world he returned to London to concentrate on his passion of landscape painting and becoming a contemporary artist.

Now painting full time, Taylor uses his visual memory as his main point of reference. His style often described as ‘Turneresque’ are paintings based on simply, land sea and sky, in his eyes the essence of landscape painting. The forces of nature just waiting to be immortalised on canvas.

Using oil as his choice of medium, he manipulates the paint with palette knife and brushes to build depth and atmosphere into his work, that reflect the dramatic weather conditions he enjoys painting.

His work described by many has having a spiritual and mystic quality that leaves the viewer to establish an horizon and to engage in the semi abstract forms that fuse together making the landscape come to life.

His paintings hang in private collections in Europe, The Middle East, Asia and the USA

Taylor continues to live and paint in his South London Studio.

Artist Profile

Madeleine Newbolt (b. 1998, London) is a contemporary British artist who studied at The University of the Arts London from 2016 to 2019. Her work is held in various private collections in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Madeleine is a painter of atmospheric, semi-abstract landscapes. Her practice draws from personal experiences, which she transforms into dreamlike landscapes and abstract natural forms. With a background in fine art photography, her work invites viewers to perceive a landscape through the hazy lens of a camera, just moments before clarity and focus converge to capture a definitive image. It is within this transitional space, the in-between, that her compositions take shape, and hues emerge into the light, creating an exploration of the interplay between form and emotion.

Her reference to landscape inherently shifts between the subtle and the explicit, characterised by weather-filled brushstrokes and a visceral sense of place. Madeleine’s intuitive painting style offers insight into the concept of the internal landscape and personal musings. Inspired by the Old Masters such as J.M.W Turner, Eugène Delacroix, and Joan Eardley, Madeleine aims to create artworks that evoke an emotional reaction and a nostalgic state of mind.

I live in West Cornwall, which has a diverse landscape of rugged coastlines, woods and moorland. My paintings are inspired by my local landscape and by my childhood. I spent most of my childhood in Devon, hiding in the woods and making dens. I am obsessed with capturing my surroundings and memories of place through texture, atmosphere and strong contrasts. Through my paintings, I hope you can feel the wind on your cheek, the smell of the mud, moss and grass, the sound of the breeze carrying the birdsong, and the rumble of thunder. More than anything else, I want to convey the peace of the wild and the energy and haven of nature. Being a painter is about connecting with you, and my paintings and prints are the start of our conversation.

Profile

Born in Edinburgh, Charles is a graduate from the Glasgow School of Art. His grandfather was an accomplished artist and won prizes for his art in 1897 from the Glasgow Master Painters Association – family legend has it that he hung out in Montmartre, Paris in the early 1900s.

Charles has always painted while heading up a design company working with clients throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and the USA – now he is spending more time on his painting – naturally being drawn to the West coast of Scotland where he has had connections over many years although he cannot resist the draw of Italy, the Caribbean and Dance.

His painting style is direct, unfussed brush strokes and knife work usually of canvas creating what he calls ‘statement pieces of a reasonable size where the contrasting textures reflect the reality of the scene and the reality of nature’s colour palette in front of him – avoiding any artificiality in creating the image.

“I aim to capture real places and moments in time – creating a window on another place which the viewer will find uplifting and be able to return to it for a visual, mental or spiritual refresh – especially when it is sky, sea or beaches and the combination of all three, I do believe that we are hardwired in our genes to receive a calming energy from these locations – probably they meant ‘safety and security’ (relaxation) to our ancestors in their dim and distant past and perhaps a painting can deliver that resonance?”

Profile

After completing her Fine Art studies in Exeter and Bristol in the mid 80’s, Caroline moved to Cornwall to embark on her artistic career, eventually settling in her own studio in the artistic community of St Ives.

She combined this with catering and travel, taking her to many places in the world. Consequently, her work is in collections in Japan, throughout Europe, India, New Zealand, New York and California.

She creates her distinctive style with texture and interest using knife with a limited yet vibrant palette, driven by the desire to capture the stunning local environment , life and quality of light in paint. She strives to create not just how somewhere looks but more how it feels to stand in awe and convey a sense of place, peace and time to the viewer.

Thanks to her A Level teacher at school, she has a strong eye for colour and composition, aiming to express the excitement and emotional reaction to seeing somewhere beautiful for the first time.

Her work soon caught the eye of other galleries, showing regularly in Battersea, Putney, St Ives, The Lake District and North Wales. Agencies distribute prints of her work worldwide and nationally to well-known homestores.

More recently, Caroline has relocated back to her beloved home county of Devon, swapping seascapes for estuary and moorland scenes. There is nothing more enjoyable than exploring the glorious landscape for subjects, armed with a camera and a cheese and tomato sandwich. Freshly inspired by her new home she is now creating new pieces for prestigious galleries and other outlets in the area.
