John Emanuel was born in Bury, Lancashire in 1930
and moved to Cornwall in 1964. His work has a strong, consistent
style - a recurring theme is the figure, often set in a landscape.
The contours of the figure combine with those of the land. Blocks
of a single colour lead to the simplified but stylised landscapes
that typify John's paintings. John began painting in the early
1960s and had his first solo exhibition in 1975. He was commissioned
by Tate St Ives to make an etching for the gallery opening in
1993. John is a member of the Penwith Society of Artists and a
former Chairman of the Newlyn Society of Artists. |

Paul Lewin was born in Manchester
in 1967. He has become renowned for his representational views of
Cornish headlands, down steep granite rock-faces to the crashing
waves below. His ability to capture the transient effect of light
on water is much admired and his paintings accurately convey the
extreme weather conditions of the Atlantic coast. Paul has had solo
shows across the country and as far afield as Boston, USA. |

John Piper was born in Salisbury
in 1946 and moved to Cornwall while still at school. Strongly influenced
by the countryside of West Cornwall, John is well known for his paintings
of the moors, carns, headlands and cliffs that characterise this landscape.
He applies paint in several layers, often with deeply etched lines
allowing contrasting colours to show through. Looming skies or large
expanses of moorland create a dramatic, often stark effect. His paintings
have been shown across Europe and North America and are widely collected.
John is a member of the Penwith Society of Artists and a former Chairman
of the Newlyn Society of Artists. |

Michael Praed was born in Cornwall
in 1941 and studied art locally, at the Penzance and Falmouth Schools
of Art. His paintings of the Cornish coastline, ports and fishing
boats have a distinctive personal style and are instantly recognisable.
The strong, near vertical lines often that often pervade the work
evoke those that are omnipresent in the granite cliffs and harbours
of Penwith. Michael has held solo shows in London and across continental
Europe. He is a member of the Penwith Society of Artists and a former
Chairman of the Newlyn Society of Artists. |

Ken Symonds studied art in
London in the 1950s and travelled widely, undertaking drawing commissions
in Africa before moving to Cornwall in 1960. Coastal scenes, lighthouses,
cliffs, moors, hamlets and tin mines often feature in Ken’s
work but it is the light and tonality that define his style. In addition
to his landscapes, Ken is also a well known painter of nudes. Ken
has painted and exhibited across the UK, Europe, America, Africa and
Asia. He is a member of the Penwith Society of Artists, a former Chairman
of the Newlyn Society of Artists and was invited to become a member
of the Pastel Society in 1990. |

Ges Wilson studied at Loughborough
and Exeter Colleges of Art before moving to Cornwall in the mid-1980s
to teach painting at a Penzance school. Ges paints semi-abstract landscapes,
inspired by the coastal scenes of Penwith. However, it is for her
figurative works that she is perhaps best known. These arise from
life drawings, simplified so as to describe an experience or memory
rather than a detailed observation of the subject matter. Ges has
exhibited widely in the West Country and further afield. She has held
'Artist in Residence' positions in studios in the UK and France. Ges
is a member of the St Ives Society of Artists and a Professional Freelance
Artist for Tate St Ives. |

Vincent Wilson was born in
Mold, north Wales, and studied painting and printmaking at Chester
and Liverpool Schools of Art. His work was first exhibited in 1954.
Vincent's work captures the atmosphere and openness of the Cornish
landscape, particularly the moorland. His paintings consist of layers
of torn fragments of paper, arranged and re-arranged until the composition
is complete. Vincent has exhibited his work widely, including at the
Royal Academy. He is a member of the Penwith Society of Artists, the
Royal Cambrian Academy and was elected to the Devon Guild of Craftsmen
in 1995. |
