Neil Pinkett, St Pauls and the Millennium Bridge
oil on board 29 x 39cm £995
In the summer of 2011, west Cornwall based artists Neil Pinkett and Alasdair Lindsay chartered a helicopter to fly over The Thames. The resultant photographs and sketches they made whilst on board became the source material for paintings in this new exhibition. In early 2012 Neil Pinkett also chartered an airplane to fly over the coast of Cornwall to create the second part of this remarkable series of paintings.
Both extremely well known and celebrated landscape artists in their own right - Neil Pinketts paintings have toured the USA and original paintings by Hunting Prize winner Alasdair Lindsay hang on board the luxury cruise liner Queen Mary, this exciting exhibition offers admirers of their work a completely different perspective on much loved views.
The Cornish paintings feature coastal scenes of Mousehole, St. Michaels Mount, Newquay, St. Ives and the rocky cliffs on the North Coast. Alongside the Cornish scenes hang the contrasting urban cityscapes of the London paintings featuring well known landmarks that border The Thames including St. Pauls Cathedral, The London Eye and The Houses of Parliament.
