“Contemporary Landscape painting has its detractors, but I believe it remains full of potential. My work considers the meaning and metaphor of natural forces, in the tradition of Constable and Turner, artists who recognise the power, beauty and grace of nature and our relationship with it.”
Gareth Edwards is a contemporary artist of Abstract Landscape Paintings.
Born in the London in 1960, Gareth is a graduate of University of London and postgraduate of Goldsmiths College of Art, London. He now lives in Newlyn in West Cornwall and works in the Porthmeor Studios in St Ives, Cornwall, adjacent to the Tate Gallery, studios made famous by Patrick Heron, Ben Nicholson, Wilhelmena Barnes-Graham amongst many others.
Gareth was elected a full Royal West Academician in 2005 and is an active member of the Newlyn Society of Artists. He exhibits regularly in the UK and Internationally in Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
His peotic works aim to articulate the intricate relationship between art and nature, thoughtfully balancing elements of traditional landscape painting with abstraction. Demonstrating a powerful approach to process and the materiality of paint, Gareth’s work invites us to contemplate ideas of the human ‘journey’ - our physical journey through time and space, and our psychological journey of existence. At their heart, his paintings aspire to a state of beauty and to what the artist describes as ‘emotional weather’, exploring equivalents in external environment and internal atmosphere.
