An exhibition of Stephen Gray's current expressive
series of ink and watercolour paintings, exploring
the countryside and waterways where he lives in Oxfordshire.
Stephen
studied at the West Sussex College of Design and has
a background in graphic design and illustration, working
for design consultancies and advertising agencies in
the UK and overseas. His paintings reflect aspects
of his training and experience, showing a keen eye
for graphic content, surface texture and detail, all
tied to a strong use of colour.
"The starting point with my painting, from the conceptual
process through to the finished work, is influenced
by location and the medium I'm using. This Treescape
series is largely influenced by being out in the country. I have always been
a country boy and I still live by the river, walking in the fields every day
and enjoying the changing views through the seasons. These are landscapes inspired
by these experiences but the particular technique of ink on paper I have used
in this series is as much of a theme as the trees themselves." Stephen Gray.
