Landscapes in Acrylic by Gareth Buxton |
|
|
Gareth's
mesmerising landscapes are inspired by places, memories and emotions. He
finds more beauty in a dark rainy sea than in a glorious sunset. Many of
his paintings show a battle between darkness and light, and this
interplay creates a mood of tension and drama in his work. Often
seeking the inspiration of his local Peak District location, Gareth's
paintings are never literal reproductions or copies of the landscape.
The artist does not paint in situ and rejects the convention of painting
in this traditional manner. As a result you will not find him trekking
across the wilderness with a rucksack full of paints. Instead he visits
locations, absorbs the atmosphere and the rest comes later, from inside.
“My view of my
local Derbyshire landscape is often stormy, rainy and indistinct.
People, buildings and other details rarely feature in the work, as I
prefer to allow the voices of hills, sea, rain and light to speak for
themselves.”
