Barry Cawston Art

The calm serenity of a frozen forest at night. An image of silence. – Cawston’s landscapes are filled with delicate harmonious tones. They resonate feeling and leave the viewer rapt, lost in the detail as if listening to the echoes of a half-remembered symphony. Poetical visions of paths and glades, ancient woods reflected in flood waters, nature revealed in its almost mythological beauty. Cawston’s images from the UK, Europe and America, convey a deeply-felt reverence for the natural world. – A larger format bespoke edition is also available on request. This custom edition of 3 pieces is produced to a client’s specifications. Typically this is for pieces greater than 250cm wide. Please contact us for further details. 200cm wide.
