Peter Newcombe
Spring

1975

About the Item

Oil on panel, signed & dated lower right 1975 Image size: 9 1/2 x 10 1/5 inches (24.13 x 25.9 cm) Ebonised Dutch style frame In this panel by Newcombe, the arrival of spring unfolds across the British landscape. As part of his four seasons collection, Spring captures both the seasonal lightness and the agricultural renewal of the land. The panel comes alive with fresh colours, breathing life into the pastoral landscape. Within this scene, the modern tractor and the traditional hay-cart exist side by side, symbolising the timeless interplay between progress and tradition across changing seasons. The plowed field stretches out its furrows promising abundance. On the left, a tall tree stands watch, its bare branches hinting at the upcoming spring bloom. Above, the sky breaks free from its cloudy cover, revealing a bright blue expanse, signalling sunnier days ahead. Peter Newcombe Newcombe (b.1943) was born in Blisworth, Northamptonshire. He studied illustration and etching at Northampton School of Art, where he won a travelling scholarship. His work first came to public attention in 1968 with a set of twelve large drawings illustrating ‘The Shepherds Calendar’ by John Clare, which were featured on BBC television. In 1970 he was awarded a major art grant from the Elizabeth T. Greenshield Foundation in Canada. At this time he began exhibiting widely in London including at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of British Artists, and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour. In 1979 he designed a set of flower stamps for the Post Office. The subject matter of Peter Newcombe’s paintings is gathered almost entirely from the area of Northamptonshire in which he lives. His paintings are intense studies of landscape and flora in all seasons, and he has a particular interest in old buildings and wild flowers.

Autumn
Located in London, GB
Oil on panel, signed & dated lower left 1975 Image size: 9 1/2 x 10 1/5 inches (24.13 x 25.9 cm) Ebonised Dutch style frame In this painting by Newcombe, the transition into autumn unfolds as part of his four-seasons collection. Titled Autumn, this panel portrays the culmination of the agricultural year - the leaves falling and the branches gradually revealing their bare forms against the cool toned sky. Newcombe's meticulous detail captures the essence of this seasonal shift as the landscape is bathed in autumnal hues. While the foreground an old wooden plough stands prominently in the untamed corners of the field, its weathered surface telling tales of bygone seasons. Beyond, regimented farmlands stretch out, their neat rows created by the turning of a modern tractor. Overhead, crows fly, echoing the eerie forthcoming of the colder months and the passing of time.

Retiro Park (Madrid) unstructured Acrylic and oil. Blue and green Landscape
Located in Segovia, ES
Retiro Park (Madrid) unstructured, Blue and green colors landscape. Acrylic and oil on panel. Measurements: 120 x 60 x 2 cm, Landscape View of the Retiro Park in Madrid (Spain) with a statue in the background The work has been carried out with an innovative technique, where the fluidized oil is transformed into an undulating wavy surface which is later outlined by the airbrush, the palette knife and the brush. A totally personal bet of the author, who has done an exercise in free painting, with an explosion of contrasts between the real world and abstraction. (The artist frames almost all his paintings with a wooden strip between 0,5 and 1 cm. thick, which can be removed at will of the client). ABOUT THE ARTIST Ángel Luis Úbeda...
