FIRST BLUSH | SPRING COLLECTION
Porthminster gallery

Celebrating the long-awaited arrival of Spring, with a curated show of new contemporary artworks by selected gallery and guest artists; Amy Albright Sam Boughton and Andrew Bird to name a few.

‘Award-winning Cornish artist Amy Albright takes inspiration from south Cornwall’s coastline in her atmospheric, layered oil paintings where the ethereal half-imagined, half-real boundaries of land and water merge, to give the viewer a sense of calm serenity – albeit one tinged with a lurking air of mystery and the unknown.’

This beautiful gallery is set in the centre of St Ives, I hope you can find a chance to visit and see some of my latest paintings on show, I know you will receive a warm welcome…

Reviews

"I've quite fallen in love with your evocative, sensual paintings. It's extraordinary that even as an internet thumbnail sized image the work vapourously conveys a much much larger Celtic grandeur. It's all very mythical. I'd love to be able to use some of your work in upcoming projects for clients. In fact it's very much worth seeing your work now since it has the sort of presence one really needs to build an interior scheme around. "

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, TV presenter & Interior designer.

________________________

Amy Albrights paintings seem to already have their own language, with unusual movement, a drifting, and depth with the works which is compelling. There is a sense of real exploration of space, which she has made her own, a place where through veils of paint we are allowed a glimpse into a shimmering world.

Testimonials:

'I absolutely love my painting. There is so much depth and vibrancy of colour in the piece that it stands out as the centrepiece of my room, and really adds brightness and character to it. There are so many layers and hidden details that I keep discovering and it completely fits the space it was made for.' Rupert, Commercial Director, London. Re. Commissioned painting.

'Just a quick note to thank you so much for our painting, hung proudly on our kitchen wall yesterday and every time we walk past it seems we visually unpeel another layer of work, it really gets better each time we look.
Thank you so much'
Martin & Nikki.

'We're both delighted with our painting Tidal Shifts and enjoying it very much. The photos
didn't really do it justice as it's much better in real life.'

‘They fill me with peace and keep my interest at the same time. I see new details almost everyday and they really work well in the room together’
