Landscape Art

CCA Galleries has a massive selection of landscape art, which can be rather overwhelming when you are searching for that one perfect picture. In order to help out a little more, I have broken the collection down into basic categories and recoommended a few artists from each to have a look at. Landscape art is a great tradition in Britain from the genius of Turner and Constable to the abstract musings of the St. Ives School and every style and interpretation in between...

Traditional

Comtemporary art does not have to mean cutting edge and impossible to understand. We have many artists who still work in the tradition started by Poussin and Claude, if you like academic landscapes you might like work by the below artists:

Graham Evernden, Stephen Whittle, Richard Wardle, Paul Bisson, Barbara Munns, John McNulty, Oliviero Masi, Jeremy King, Kathleen Caddick, Kenneth Leech, Alison Kennedy, Norman Stevens, Mark Spain, Ilana Richardson, Gerald Hughes, George Guest, Gilbert Browne, Don Bessant, Michael Carlo.

Impressionistic

If you prefer the soft-edges and focus on light and colour imbued in the works of artists such as Monet and Dufy, try the artists below:

Michael Schreiber, Bob Sanders, Peter Eastham, Richard Tuff, Donald Wilkinson, Ian Ribbons, Joy Brand, Claude Fauchere, Francis Mean, Ley Kenyon, Marie Para, Michael Oelman, Gilbert Martin, Malkolm Woodward, Andre Bicat, Thomas Kruger, France Hilon, Glyn Thomas, Victor Spahn, Amanda Hoskin.

Stylised

If you like your landscapes quirky, imaginative and unusual, the artists who work in a very stylised manner may be for you. Each of the below artists is immediateloy recognisable by their unique style:

Patrick Procktor, Stavros Kotsireas, James Willebrant, Lis Wright, Barbara Newcomb, Andrew Murrey, Lorna Massie, Vincent Haddesley, Phil Greenwood, Renee Halpern, Francois Ledan, Simon Palmer, Alison Goodwin, Melanie Epps.
