Dancing in the
Sand 1020mm x 1020mm, oil on canvas £3100 |
The work of Paul Wadsworth is splashed all over
the gallery. The sands of the Omani
coast mixing, with a joyful exuberance, with the sands of the Cornish
coast.
St. Ives Bay
400mm x 400mm, acrylic on canvas £840 |
Colour is pouring from the walls as if your pupils have been
dilated and nothing is filtered or held back.
The sky is blue and green, teal and pink. Bright hues dance with rhythmic energy across
the canvas and throughout the exhibition.
The paintings appear to leave the boundaries of the supports that they
are painted on and enter into your very soul.
There is light and passion in the brushstrokes and power within the
layers of paint.
Seeing the Bigger
Picture 1020mm x 1020mm, acrylic on canvas £3100 |
Figures are seen and drift in and out of focus, like the
figure of a storyteller visible through the smoke and embers of a beach fire
late at night.
These are paintings that allow your mind to wander while
they whisper exotic tales in an ancient language; stories that you recognise
and understand but cannot ever repeat in words of your own.Wiseman of the
Beach 460mm x 610mm, oil on canvas £1150 |
It’s a great show, beautifully wrought and exhilarating to
see.
The opening night is tonight 6-8pm and the exhibition
continues until Wednesday 19th of September.
