DESCRIPTION
Steve Slimm has been producing and exhibiting paintings in Cornwall since 1979. Essentially self-taught, Steve has developed his art along very personal lines that both absorb and transcend tradition. He has become recognised as a noteworthy Cornish landscape painter, especially for his use of light. For this reason he was featured in the national UK art a-level syllabus for 2009-2010. His main focus has always been the land, with its ever-shifting moods of light, and the deep sense of mystery surrounding those ancient timeless tracts of land and its coastal extremities. From his early training with John Miller during the late 70′s, through his almost obsessional explorations into the works of Turner, Monet, and finally Van Gogh, he has moved further and further away from the literal, toward the abstracted interpretation of the essence of what he sees. In more recent years he has also developed an increasing love of colour, and uses it with an ever intensifying passion!TRANSCRIPT

If you check out his name on the web you will be aware of the many recent or current exhibitions of his original paintings. We are delighted to be showing a second exhibition on Steve’s works here in North Yorkshire with 12 new paintings. More information can be found at http://onlineceramics.net/steve-slimm
