MEET THE ARTISTS
Atanas Matsoureff: This master of realist watercolour shows an interest in the depiction of textures and great respect for his models.
Bill James: The paintings of this ‘American Impressionist’ are infused with social comment.
Dylan Scott Pierce: This American artist paints the breadth of beauty and diversity of the African continent.
John Orlando Birt: The Australian is acclaimed for his skill in evoking the illusion of light and romantic atmospheres.
David Taylor: A master of simplicity, he paints the landscapes that he encounters around the world with free and bold strokes.
David Paskett: The former president of the British Royal Watercolour Society looks back over his fifty-year career.
Christopher St. Leger: He knows how to free himself from the rules and render urban scenes where freedom and life prevail.
Carol Evans: She loves the landscapes and coastline of British Columbia and shares her passion for the wilderness.
Thomas Schaller: Originally trained as an architect, he is fascinated by urban scenes which he renders using a wide variety of techniques.
Yuko Nagayama: She likes the stunning beauty of flowers and their vibrant energy. Her approach is both philosophical and spiritual.
Chris Krupinski: She laborates highly detailed and colourful still lifes, striking in their bold and complex composition.
Barbara Nechis: From a close observation of nature and its shapes, she arrives at watercolours that border on abstraction.
Denny Bond: He works on composition and detail in a figurative style with a choice of subject matter that is not predictable.
Linda Baker: Her subjects are the vernacular and prosaic, which nonetheless possess a strong emotional impact. My favourite painting:
Ross Paterson, representing water.
Rose Edin, an Indian evocation.
