Michael Porter Coast and Country Nature in Art

Описание: MICHAEL PORTER has two large paintings, 'Road to Issel' and 'Shining Cliffs and Falling Leaves' in the permanent collection of Nature in Art, acquired with the generous assistance of The Art Fund and MLA/V&A Purchase Grant Fund. Nature in Art also hosted a one man exhibition by him in 2011.
Michael's training included undergraduate and post-graduate studies at Chelsea School of Art finishing  as Fellow in Fine Art at Gloucestershire College of Art in 1973. From 1974 he worked in the same studio in Hackney, East London until his move to Cornwall in 1997 during which he lectured in most major Art Schools in London and the provinces as well as several throughout Europe.
For the past 20 years he has worked exclusively from the landscape, always using locations that he has been familiar with over long periods of time as the paintings incorporate both time past and time present.
This video, 'Coast and Country', by Bob Scholes gives a truly fascinating glimpse of Michael at work, from gathering inspiration and reference in the field to bringing those experiences back to life in his studio.
