September 11th–October 13th - A Painter’s Landscape: Illusion and Paint at the Lime Tree Gallery, Long Melford

Robert Newton is a contemporary artist living and working in Northumberland. He has been exhibiting successfully in Lime Tree Gallery for some time, but has never painted the wide skies of East Anglia prior to this Solo Exhibition. For Robert, painting is fundamental to the creative process. His work explores colour, composition and expression, maintaining a painterly approach with upmost attention. Robert sees his work as painting nature not only in context but as a vehicle to express the medium, its plasticity and how it conveys an illusion of reality.
Artist’s statement:
Annual visits to Suffolk have inevitably led me to explore the Stour valley and the landscape surrounding Dedham Vale so affectionately painted by John Constable in the early 19th century. Detached from my native Northumberland, it seemed logical to make new work of unfamiliar surroundings in order to question my approach to painting. Despite my great admiration for the artists work and that of his contemporaries, I had never attempted to paint outside the North of England with such endeavour and never replicate other artists subject matter. With the work I have attempted to blur the divide between the familiarity of my immediate surroundings and explore the landscape in an objective manner in order to convey the language of paint and painting.
Robert Newton will be in the Gallery on Saturday 11th September to discuss his work. Please contact the gallery by clicking on teh link above for more information.
