 Stephen Taylor: London over the M25 from Essex 81 x 182cm, oil on canvas Landscape new works re-interpreting the landscape tradition featuring Richard Cuerden, Mark Pearson, Daniel Rapley, Della Reed, Rosie Snell, Stephen Taylor, Stephen Walter, Richard Whadcock This exhibition aims to show that the landscape theme is flourishing among young artists who are re-inventing it through a variety of different styles, from the hyper real to the purely suggestive. Each artist has their own perspective of the landscape, in this exhibition we see it manipulated to evoke ideas of beauty and fantasy; used as a document or statement about our modern environment and as metaphor for personal experience.
