An Original Contemporary Artwork Of A Cornish Harbour Scene Painted Onto Stainless Steel.

LIZ DICKINSON Liz is a contemporary fine artist who first moved to Cornwall in 1995 from Northumberland with its open beauty and landscapes of contrast. The similarity of the coastline and large areas of moorland and ancient landscapes drew her to Cornwall along with its great heritage of art and its landscape and light being a consistent inspiration for her work. Walking on the beaches within the dominating structural landscapes, with her dogs who at times make an appearance in her work, she see these motifs and shapes in the rocks and tides that then become expressive methods of capturing the power and drama of the place. She also uses similar themes of pattern and texture in her Still Life work that captures elements from her everyday life and living environment. Her art is an emotional response often playing with perspective that shifts to make the viewer question where the starting point is, this is intentional. Her work is underpinned by observation and through her use of intuitive drawings where she may make one line travel through the landscape or a series of expressive marks that gives her work energy. She describes her style as “abstracted” so in it lies the recognisable but interpreted rather than an exact response. At times she will shift viewpoints even mapping out the subjects and locations, almost as if from above. This original artwork is painted onto kitchen grade stainless steel using acrylic paint. It is designed to be freestanding but if the screw is removed from the bottom of the artwork it can also be attached to a wall. The artwork measures 7″ x 9″ and it weighs 410g. ​
