Artist Statement:
Richard Corbett, artist
Art at Nature's Edge
http://www.axisweb.org/seCVPG.a
spx?ARTISTID=10446
I am an artist based in
Monmouth, South Wales.
It is the intimate and
unforgettable places in Nature
that I like to share.
Easter 2009 proved a turning
point for me - I took a
holiday in Tuscany, near
Arezzo, in a villa surrounded
by Olive Groves that every
morning would be lit up by the
spring light. I was also lucky
enough to see the work of
Piero della Francesca, it took
my breath away. Since then my
main focus has been, what deep
down has been a lifelong love,
TREES.
So, my most recent works have
been drawings and paintings of
Olive Trees; the hidden
corners of English Gardens and
Hampstead Heath; and, since
December, Welsh Glades in the
winter sun.
These special places give me
the space to find calm in this
frantic world. All I can hope
is that within my artworks you
can lose yourself like I did.
My next solo exhibition
celebrates this.
‘In Leafy Groves and Glades’
is at the New End Gallery, 27
Carnegie House, Hampstead 6th-
11th April, 10:30am- 6:00pm
Tuesday-Saturday, Sunday
