Streets to Sea

 

Streets to Sea - by artist Kev Oldham

Streets to Sea - 1st September – 1st November

Kev tells us that this body of work has been created over the last 3 years.

"I find inspiration from the things I see around me, from atmospheric seascapes to sunlit buildings, to create a “frozen moment in time”. I look at the normalcy of everyday places, finding beauty and meaning in the mundane and highlighting intricate details and textures often overlooked."

"I find myself drawn to window reflections, to the way light falls on unexpected shadows on a brick wall or peeling paint. Whilst my paintings are rendered with photographic realism, my true aim is not to replicate a photograph perfectly, but to use the source image as a starting point to create something new and unique."

"After carefully drawing out the image, sometimes removing or blending objects and moving pieces around, the oil paint is laid down in multiple thin layers, which gives the feeling of realism and allows my signature style to evolve naturally."

"There are no hidden meanings or messages hidden within these works, just a sense of place."
