In the early 1970s, Poul Webb travelled to Yugoslavia in search of the exotic. He found it. The landscapes reminded him of the work of Grant Wood. Poul began experimenting. He produced beguiling landscape paintings, brightly coloured and arranged in pleasing geometric patterns. This was the origin of a style that Poul is still pursuing, an approach that has made him one of the UK's most acclaimed landscape painters.

Iranian artist Ali Esmaeilipour’s paintings are disarmingly beautiful, but look carefully and there is often a sense of disquiet – he is not seeking to produce harmonious compositions rather a snapshot of life in movement.

Rebecca Jewell has developed a unique printing technique (based on paper litho transfer) like nothing seen before. She delicately reproduces the natural patterns of exotic bird feathers – and even portraits of the birds themselves - directly on to plain white feathers. Her prints are stunning.

Pam Hawkes has created incomparable works of art whose subject are frequently ethereal women, and whose pallet typically contains gold and copper leaf. At a young age she was drawn to Byzantine icons – the gold-tinged religious paintings created by Eastern European painters of the dark ages and early medieval periods. She says “They inspire a kind of reverence in the viewer. I find this fascinating and love the stillness in these works”.

We are attending the London Art Fair at the Islington Design Centre 16th – 20th January. Exhibiting artists are Derek Balmer, Ian Berry, Richard Twose and Walasse Ting. Our stand is G38, please do come to see us.

The motif of Landscape has been a major part of Mark Godwin’s work for over 30 years, greatly influenced by the 18th century Romantic notion of the Sublime, and our longing for an emotional encounter with nature. These paintings resonate.
