Arwyn Quick

Member since Friday 28th Oct, 2011

After training as a teacher, Arwyn taught in a Junior School, man and boy, for 35 years, specialising in art. Following early retirement, through ill health,he now paints professionally and for enjoyment; rather than for school productions after a long hard day. His work has appeared in several galleries around the country, and has been published in several magazines. Quality prints, cards and calendars are available of his work.

ARTISTIC STATEMENT:

Arwyn has a passion for the sense of spaciousness evoked by the landscape around the Derbyshire Peak.
He uses COLOUR to reinforce the immediacy of first impressions & to emphasise spatial awareness & sense of place.
By accentuating those elements caught in a Play of Light, he seeks to recreate the scene with a heightened sense of depth.
Sometimes, he allows FORM & COLOUR to evolve, (seeking to portray the raw forces behind the scene ) resulting in a rather Abstract Impression.
