Description:
A striking and expressive watercolour by British artist John Steane (b.1931), this signed work from 1990 captures the dramatic geological landscape of the Dorset coastline. The view showcases tilted layers of multicoloured sedimentary rock rising from a bed of rounded pebbles, painted with bold contour lines and rich mineral tones. The saturated blue sky above heightens the sense of contrast and clarity.
The Dorset Coast is part of the UNESCO-designated Jurassic Coast, famous for its fossil-rich cliffs and unusual rock formations, such as those found at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. In this composition, Steane adopts a more abstracted, stylised approach—emphasising the sculptural quality of the stone and the textural rhythms of the landscape. From the stacked strata to the smoothed pebbles below, every element is observed with a combination of realism and interpretive freedom.
This piece would appeal to collectors drawn to expressive British coastal painting, contemporary watercolour, or works inspired by geological formations. It also showcases a later period in Steane’s practice, when his use of line and colour became increasingly dynamic and graphic.
