Details Details Close Description Another very pretty mixed media from the studio of this well collected British artist. Image 21″ x 15″ mounted Originally from Bury, in the North of England, John Emanuel works in Porthmeor, Cornwall. He has received no formal art training, but his background as a decorator has served as an excellent foundation. His natural creativity inspired by a love of his subject – the figure and the figure embraced by the landscape, has developed into a consistent style.His drawings exhibit a clear, classical form and a simplicity of line which strengthens the relationship between the contours of the figure and the contours of the land. He loves the singular beauty of the Cornish coastline and the extraordinary light. The notion of forms sleeping beneath the earth are a recurring theme. John works in a variety of media: charcoal, gouache, oils and, more recently mixed media and lino-types, a method he learned from John Wells. His preferred medium is oil paint using hand and mould made papers laid down on archive quality board. less DIMENSIONS 18ʺW × 0.1ʺD × 25.5ʺH STYLES Modern FRAME TYPE Unframed ART SUBJECTS Figure PERIOD Early 21st Century ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS Watercolor CONDITION Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections COLOR Yellow TEAR SHEET CONDITION NOTES Excellent See less
