About the Item

"Greenaway Beach" by Lenny Cornforth is a captivating original seascape painting that transports viewers to the pristine shores of Cornwall. Crafted with oil on canvas, Cornforth's contemporary impressionistic style infuses this piece with a sense of tranquility and nostalgia. At the heart of the painting lies an aerial view of Greenaway Beach, where gentle ocean waves caress the white sand shore. Colorful beach parasols dot the coastline, adding a playful touch to the serene scene. Figures can be seen lounging on colorful beach blankets, soaking in the warmth of the sun. Surfers ride the waves with grace and ease, their silhouettes adding a sense of movement and vitality to the composition. Rocks scattered along the beach provide texture and depth, grounding the viewer in the natural beauty of the coastal landscape. The color scheme of the painting is dominated by soothing shades of blue, evoking the calm expanse of the ocean and the vast sky above. Earthy tones of sand and rocks complement the scene, creating a harmonious balance within the composition. "Greenaway Beach" is framed and signed by the artist, ready to be displayed and admired in any space. It is a testament to Cornforth's skill and vision, offering viewers a moment of peaceful contemplation amidst the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast. For those captivated by its allure, "Greenaway Beach" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online, providing art enthusiasts with the opportunity to bring a touch of coastal serenity into their homes. Artist biography: Endlessly enthralled by the Atlantic ocean, Lenny Cornforth takes inspiration from the northern coast of Cornwall, using layers of translucent colour and texture to construct vibrant and emotional paintings evoking the joyful colours of the beaches around her. A keen sailor and surfer, Lenny draws on her own experiences on the Northern coast of Cornwall to inform her compositions. Tiny figures across each painting, whether they are surfing, sailing or sunbathing hold an intriguing narrative within each piece. Evoking memories of long sunny days by the sea, exploring coastal paths and stretching out on the golden sand. After graduating from Newcastle University with a degree in Fine Art, Lenny has exhibited widely in the UK including The Crypt Gallery in St.Ives, Oxford Castle, Edinburgh Art Fair, Waterperry Gardens and the Scin Gallery in London. However she has always been drawn back to Cornwall, where she currently lives near Bodmin with her husband and son, two dogs and dorset sheep. “A visual explosion of colour, shape and texture, each piece an experiment into her love of colour theory” – The Newbury Weekly News “Creating large scale abstract seascapes, Lenny Cornforth’s work is inspired by the wild Atlantic ocean, a passion for sailing and a keen eye for colour… dreamy seascapes inspired by the coastline of North Cornwall” – Coast Magazine 2021

  • "Moonlit River Scene", Early 20th Century Oil on Canvas by Luis Graner y Arrufi
    By Luis Graner Y Arrufi
    Located in Madrid, ES
    LUIS GRANER Y ARRUFI Spanish, 1863 - 1929 MOONLIT RIVER SCENE signed and dated "L. Graner, 1925" (lower right) Oil on canvas 20-1/8 X 30 inches (51X 76 cm.) framed: 25-3/4 X 35-3/4 inches (65 X 90.5 cm.) PROVENANCE NEAL AUCTION COMPANY, New Orleans, LA, USA Private Collection, Barcelona Graner paints this work, Moonlit on the river, during his stay in the United States in the last stage of his artistic life, from 1910 to 1928, in full stage of maturity. This artwork reflects the constant search of the artist for the effects of light in his work. This persistent concern for light remains throughout his artistic life, which he learned in his Parisian stage under the influence of the painter Frances Platour. The silver light of the moon and the small lights at distance, which are tiny foci of artificial light, reflecting the river water, forming a chromatic range of greens, ocher and pearly that give a certain mystery to the composition, creating a modern approach to the landscape, by placing the two large trees at the edge of the river in the foreground Luís Graner y Arrufí, Spanish (1863–1929) was a Catalan painter in the Realistic style. He was born in Barcelona, and studied at the Escola de la Llotja from 1883, with Antoni Caba (color/composition) and Benet Mercadé (drawing). During his final year at school, he received a grant to study in Madrid, where he copied and learned from the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado. After that, supported by a fellowship, he moved to Paris and became a member of the Academie des Beaux-Arts. Later, he returned to Barcelona, but continued to travel to cities throughout Europe, including Berlin, Munich and Düsseldorf. Influenced by Richard Wagner's concept of "Gesamtkunstwerk" (Total Work of Art), he was motivated to create his own total art experience and organized the "Sala Mercè" (Mercy Hall) in Barcelona's Rambla District. The project involved contributors from every artistic discipline, including the new field of cinematography. The room was decorated by Antoni Gaudí. Other participants included Adrià Gual, Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas...
