Into the Light by Charles Kitchen
Light effects from both coastal and inland scenes inspired the works in this exhibition. By working to translate nature’s colours and weather effects onto a two dimensional surface the artist is able to evoke the atmosphere of each scene rather than produce a copied representation of it.
Gathered here are paintings from a career spanning over forty years. The majority of the works in the exhibition were executed in oils and produced in the artist’s studio or ‘en plein air’. The artist is a strong believer in the need to avoid developing a personal ‘style’. Rather he believes that each scene needs to be interacted with on an individual basis to create a true feeling for the location.
