Exeter, United Kingdom-born abstract painter Jeremy Annear knew he wanted to be an artist in his youth, and studied printmaking and painting at the Exeter College of Art during the mid-1960s. He spent family holidays in Cornwall, where he soaked up the rich modernist influences of great Cornish artists Ben Nicholson and Barabara Hepworth.
By the 1980s, Annear moved to Cornwall and began receiving attention from the art community for his integration of geometric forms and his paintings’ clever mingling of earth tones and vivid primary colors. In Cornwall, Annear was able to paint full-time and further develop his techniques — layering colors and paying close attention to how edges and lines could be used to overall harmonious effect in his work.
Annear was a member of the Newlyn and Penwith Society of Artists as well as the Management Committee of the Newlyn Orion Gallery. Alongside fellow artists Ralph Freeman, Roy Walker and others Annear formed the Cobalt Group in 1994. Annear had solo exhibitions at galleries in Berlin, Bremen and Leipzig over the years as well as Messum’s Fine Art Gallery in St. Ives. Throughout his career, he joined the ranks of other esteemed St. Ives artists including British painters Peter Lanyon, Sir Terry Frost, and Patrick Heron.
