Sheridan Russell Gallery
Mark Godwin
The general theme of my paintings is Landscape. Most of my current work is inspired by the coastline in and around my home county of East Sussex
I try not to be too specific about locations, the seasons, or the time of day, I am a studio based artist, whose work is a poetic response to the memory of the landscape, and I do not consider myself as a painter of topographical views.
I am inspired by the concept of ‘the sublime’, in nature. A term coined by the 19th-century romantics to express the overwhelming beauty, awe, and power of nature.
At first glance my paintings may appear ‘loose and gestural’ and although I am open to chance and the occasional ‘happy accident’ my paintings are considered and carefully built up with successive overlays of painting.
