Adam de Ville
Once upon a cheese twist above Bala Lake - contemporary landscape oil painting

2022

About the Item

Adam de Ville is a self taught artist (and actor) based in Kent in the South East of England. Currently working with oil paint as his primary medium, Adam’s work is akin to a visual diary – he always has something new to offer that is a reflection of his latest outing. Created in the summer of 2021, this whimsically named collection captures views of the British Isles in a fond and playful fashion. Both abstract and absurd in nature, his work has featured in the 2018/19 “Sunday Times Watercolour Competition”, the 2019 “Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Portrait Prize Exhibition” and the 2020 “Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Annual Exhibition”. Adam says – ”I prefer to begin a painting with a strong idea, but then see where the moment takes me. Some of the work is more deliberate, but I aim to keep an element of risk or chance. I love finding a face for the first time, or a place caught in the moment. I don’t have any particular limit on subject matter, but I like exploring familiar aspects of popular culture and reoccurring themes of displacement and belonging. Storytelling is an essential part of the work.”

  • Garden In Luca, White Chair
    Located in Westport, CT
    "My life as a painter began in the late 1950s when abstraction was “The only game in town”. I followed and progressed through gesture, organic and finally, geometric non-objective painting. The radical move for me was to discover that the real world of landscape lurked behind all that past work. My childhood in the mountains of Pennsylvania pervaded my “way of seeing” and I wanted to investigate and celebrate the infinite variety of tone, color and composition that I found around me. Sky, the structure of trees, mist and water appeared to fill a hunger to look again and again. There was mystery and danger lurking behind the beauty, and my aim was to try to avoid the cliché and explore the infinite structure of the visual landscape. Now I use my camera as a sketchbook and search for images that seem to offer odd structure and “mystery”. I shoot multiple points of view, cull, crop, and mostly discard. The surviving photographs become the catalyst for the paintings and the process is always a mediation between memory and the small image pinned to my easel...
