Daniel Crawshaw, one of the most admired contemporary landscape artists working today, is having his first solo show at Martin Tinney Gallery.

About

DANIEL CRAWSHAW’S return to Wales follows a highly successful few years exploring the landscapes of Australia.
This exhibition is his first solo show at Martin Tinney Gallery. It demonstrates an extraordinary body of work that secures his
reputation as one of our leading contemporary landscape artists.

Crawshaw has been selected for ‘The National Eisteddfod of Wales’ a remarkable nine times and was awarded the People’s Choice in 2004. He has built up a loyal and enthusiastic following through solo exhibitions in Wales, London and Australia.
Born and raised on the English/Welsh border, Crawshaw subsequently spent many years in Mid Wales.
Crawshaw’s search for inspiration, along with his love of the outdoors and desire for adventure takes him through dramatic and imposing landscapes.

In seeking out beauty in remote and inhospitable places, hundreds of sketches and photographs are faithfully produced.  Crawshaw then translates his study to canvas with an almost jarring quality, often on an exhilarating and monumental scale.
His almost photographic paintings ignite our emotions. Haunting yet with a sense of calm, they capture the cold atmosphere of high altitude regions. Exposed to dizzy heights, the Welsh landscape begins to disappear in vaporous clouds, amplifying the viewer’s sense of awe and diminution.Through meticulous research and exploration in the field Crawshaw manages to express the
experience of place without necessarily revealing where this place may be.

The exhibition consists of approximately 20 new paintings and shows his continuing development.

All works are for sale.
Collectorplan, an interest free loan scheme, is available to purchase work by living artists with a new maximum loan amount of £5000.
