Ann Winn (1930-2015) was an instinctive and masterly colourist whether working in oil, watercolour, gouache, pastel or ink. Her subjects were landscapes and interiors which she could simplify to the point of abstraction whilst delighting in ornament, pattern and decoration. She was inspired by her extensive travels to Greece, Turkey, Nepal, India, Morocco and closer to home Wales and Suffolk and worked both on the spot and in her studio.
She has been described as a ‘Neo-romantic impressionist, with a touch of Bloomsbury at its best’ and a ‘latter-day fauve, unselfconscious in her debt to Matisse.'
Irreverant and stylish limited edition screenprints and giclee prints from our brilliant illustrator and cartoonist.
JESS QUINN
Jess Quinn creates surreal worlds, filled with colour and pattern, that mix the magical and the mundane.
She weaves together memories and real events with fictional characters and places. Jess takes inspiration from art history and explores the role of women in art creating a unique vision of the world.
'I am not afraid to use colour and pattern and often employ an abundance of both'
WILLIAM PACKER
William has dedicated his life to the visual arts variously as Teacher, Critic, Curator and Author - and always as Painter. Fot the last 25 years he has focused on still-life.
Each 'a little world, a tiny city, a paradigm and parallel reality to be explored in the imagination and realised in the act of painting'.
William's elegant, contemplative still-lives feature a regular cast of characters rendered in muted tones often alongside ephemeral wildflowers.
Daniel's work celebrates the urban environment, from vast panoramas to intimate studies of the city. Composed in his signature vivid colour palette and exploring the boundary between abstraction and figuration.
'He finds in the modest familiar view, quite often scruffy and down at heel, so much that is remarkable and beautiful'
