Mike Ibbotson
Mike Ibbotson, being a landscape designer, is inspired by hilly and mountainous landscapes. This aspect of his life is highly influential to his painting style which originates from an approach to the observation that is personally philosophical by creating rough sketches that depict both the space around him as well as the subject matter that it holds. His work is vibrant and he characteristically effortlessly utilizes loose brushstrokes. Ibbotson works quickly, producing an organic drawing of what he sees as opposed to a stylized finish. He has exhibited with the Royal Society of British Artists and was awarded the ‘Best work on Paper’ prize by them. Ibbotson has also shown in the “Open Prize Exhibition” in the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.

Artist Comments
Artist James Hartman draws inspiration from the experience of seeing sunlit colors and details appearing through the strong vertical tree pattern. He expresses the painting sections to appear like stained glass. James highlights small areas where collaged 100-year-old paper show through the surface, he does this in a non-disruptive way. James applies heat to fuse the oils into a mixture of beeswax and damar crystals to seal the work.
About the Artist
When James Hartman was in art school, he became fascinated with the Society of Six, a group of artists who painted en plein air (outdoors) and exhibited together in the San Francisco Bay Area during the early 20th Century. James's paintings of the Northern California landscape pay tribute to some of the great Bay Area artists of the past. His expressive scenes feel alive through his vibrant use of color and his painterly brushwork. James’s paintings have an immediate visual impact from a distance, yet up close, dissolve into a series of confident marks and strokes. There is a simultaneous complexity and steadiness in his flattened, color-blocked planes. Knowledge and observation are essential elements of James’s working practice. To this end, he spends a large proportion of his time painting on location. His body of work captures the fresh and sunlit essence of the coastal California hills.
