Established landscape painter Terry Watts, has been a member of the prestigious Royal Society of British Artists since 2006. His fascination with landscapes was first explored through photography, after which he moved towards painting as a means of expression that could better capture the subtleties of color, texture and light.
Watts began his artistic studies at the Camberwell College of Art before moving to the Hammersmith College of Art, both based in London. Having gained a degree in the sciences followed by work in the field of education, he returned to the art world to work on large, sculptural landscape projects for the London Docklands Development Corporation, Merton Borough Council (home of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships) and British Gas. These commissions promoted a full-time move back toward the arts, at which point Watts began exhibiting in solo shows across England and joint shows in the United States, the Netherlands, Scotland and Ireland.
Though traditional in style and elementary in his choice of medium (acrylic paint on paper), Watts’s creations truly capture the starkness and majesty of the Great British countryside. Most notable are the clouds that crown the landscape. Like many esteemed British painters, this uncertain face of nature is of huge inspiration and Watts’s sublime representation of the ever-changing skies has seen him awarded various accolades, including Guest Prize at the Laing Landscape Competition, two first prizes at the London City Airport Competition, the Buzzacott Best Picture award at the Royal Institute and the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition.

"Ribbon" Extra-Large Contemporary Landscape Painting By American Martin Hoffman
By Martin Hoffman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
Introducing "Ribbon," an extraordinary painting from the "Jersey Meadow Series" by Martin Hoffman in the 1970s. From the 1970s onwards, Hoffman's career showcased a masterful combination of beautiful painting techniques and challenging subject matter. This contemporary painting depicts an abandoned landscape with a hypnotic blue plastic ribbon at its center. Hoffman's landscape creates an almost mesmerizing effect, where the subject matter of destruction and decay is presented poetically. The warm shades of grey with hints of blue, brown, and purple create a limited yet powerful palette that enhances the melancholic beauty of the painting. The painting measures 151cm x 202cm / 59.5in x 79.5in and is signed 'Martin Hoffman' on the reverse side of the canvas. It is titled 'Ribbon' and is dated '73.' Additionally, the artist specifies that the painting is part of the 'Jersey Meadow Series.' It is ready to hang and comes with a silver-painted frame. The condition of the painting is great, with hardly any signs of wear. The frame has a few scratches but is otherwise in good condition. Artist Bio: Martin Hoffman was a versatile artist and illustrator, mostly known for his paintings. He was a self-taught painter and a gifted drummer who had worked as an art director for the Miami News, Graphic Arts Inc., and Steiner & Wall Advertising. In 1973, Martin Hoffman landed his first solo exhibition at the OK Harris...
