Artist Sue Bown - also an erstwhile keen sailor - painted these colourful sailing boats on the iconic Dart River, in Devon, from the ideal vantage point of her own back garden.
Lucky girl - and lucky us to be able to show them to coincide with spring and summer 2025.
The joy and freedom of being on the water really comes across in these exuberant pieces. They range from large solo canvasses to smaller scenes and a triptych that can be displayed together or as separate elements.
Idea for the home of keen sailers and coastal lovers.
ABOUT SUE BOWN
Sue Bown is a painter and printmaker from the South Cotswolds and new to the gallery for winter 2024.
Her practice is an enquiry into movement and form. She uses gestural mark making and layering to take the viewer on an uplifting journey about space and place.
Colour, scale and materiality hold importance, as does the physicality of moving paint on a surface. In short, Sue regards the handling of materials as an energetic excitement, an expression of self.
She trained at Arts University Plymouth where she graduated in 2022 with a First Class Honours degree in Painting, Drawing and Printmaking.
It was there that she won the Pro Vice Chancellor's Award for Excellence and was also shortlisted for the Platform Graduate Award.
Stephen Felmingham, Pro Vice Chancellor at Arts University Plymouth, said: "Sue’s paintings demonstrate a profound understanding of material, colour and form... Her paintings resonate deeply with the viewer and are a testament to the immense hard work she has put into her course."
