Miles Christopher Fairhurst was born at Thorpe, Norwich on 3 December 1955, third of the four children of artist and art dealer Joseph Fairhurst (4 July 1922-December 1993) and his wife Miss Perks, who married in 1947. Miles was educated at Gresham School, Holt, Norfolk and studied under his father and briefly in Aix-en-Provence, France but is mostly self-taught. Miles began his working life as an art dealer before turning to painting full time, being influenced by East Anglia and East Anglian artists such as Sir John Arnesby Brown and Edward Seago, light and mood predominate in his impressionist approach to the big skies and the scenes beneath. He shares their great love of the broad East Anglian skies and the ever-diminishing wild places that are such an inspiration and encourage his semi-impressionistic handling of the subject-a special favourite being sand dunes and beaches, quite often without the presence of human beings. In 1990, he moved to Turkey Hall, Metfield, near Halesworth, Suffolk and has held numerous one-man shows in the last few years and a strong following has grown for his work. A member of the Suffolk Coastal Group of artists and Norwich Art Circle, his work sells regularly through the major London sale rooms, and has many paintings in private collections in Britain, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA and has exhibited far from his Suffolk home including at The Royal Society of Marine Artists’ annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London.

- "Spring in Central Park" after Adolf Arthur Dehn, Midcentury Modern ManhattanBy Adolf Arthur DehnLocated in Soquel, CAA spectacular mid-century modern Manhattan figurative landscape oil painting, after the renowned artist Adolf Arthur Dehn's 1941 watercolor "Spring in Central Park", by an unknown artist (American, 20th Century). In this vibrant and expressive circa 1960 rendition of Dehn's famed painting, New Yorkers are depicted as tiny figures milling about the park in springtime, dwarfed by fluffy pink trees in bloom and the towering New York City skyline in the distance. Unsigned. Presented in a wood frame. Image size: , 29"H x 36"L. Framed: 32"H x 39"W. This painting is after the prestigious watercolor of the same title, painted in 1941 by Adolf Arthur Dehn (American, 1895 - 1968). The original piece is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It was exhibited at the Met's "26th Annual National Exhibition of Advertising and Editorial Art" in 1947, and then again at the 1950 exhibition titled "20th Century Painters: A Special Exhibition of Oils, Water Colors and Drawings Selected from the Collections of American Art in the Metropolitan Museum". More recently, "Spring in Central Park" was exhibited at Fairfield University Art Museum for the 2017 exhibition "Adolf Dehn: Midcentury Manhattan". Visiting, and then living in New York City, Dehn captured the essence of the city in his paintings, prints and drawings of the landscapes of Central Park, and of the city's burlesque and night club scenes...Category

- A Young Girl Reading a Book, Pointillist ArtistLocated in Stockholm, SE"A Young Girl Reading a Book" is a captivating portrait by Swedish artist Gustaf Arnolds. Arnolds was a prolific painter whose roots began in Vingåker and later in Ronneby from his teenage years. His educational journey in art took him through prestigious institutions such as Althins målarskola and the Tallbergska grafikskolan in Stockholm, followed by a significant period at the Konstakademien, Stockholm, between 1904 and 1909. His talent and dedication were recognized early on, earning him a scholarship to Paris, a city that would deeply influence his artistic direction. This particular work, likely painted shortly after his return to Sweden, reveals a profound influence from his time in Paris. It portrays a young girl absorbed in reading a book, a simple yet profound subject that Arnolds imbues with a sense of tranquility and introspection. The background hints at a serene landscape, dotted with quaint houses, a nod to the everyday beauty surrounding us. What sets this piece apart is Arnolds’ technique, reminiscent of pointillism but distinguished by longer, more expressive brush strokes that add a vibrant texture and depth to the canvas. This method showcases Arnolds' unique adaptation of the techniques he encountered during his Parisian studies, particularly during his interactions with Nils Dardel...Category
