Original painting by Romi Behrens (1939-2019) ‘Pineapple with Mixed Fruit’
Located in Castle Cary, GB
This original oil painting by Romi Behrens is an excellent and vibrant example of her work. Romi Behrens was born in Wiltshire, and moved to Cornwall in 1959, where she lived for the rest of her life. A multi-talented and thoroughly creative person, she was a talented visual artist as well as violinist. She was a long-term member of the Newlyn Society of Artists since the late 1960s, where her paintings were often exhibited in mixed shows. Romi was described by critic Frank Ruhrmund as 'both a speedy and a spontaneous artist' and she was great friends with many leading contemporary artists in the St Ives Colony. Romi Behrens' work was exhibited at the Arnolfini, Bristol, private galleries in London and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions. In 2020 a body of paintings by Romi Behrens was selected for the 'St Ives Modernists' exhibition at David Simon...
