Contemporary Artists

PAUL BANNING RI RSMA AROI Born in 1934, Paul trained at Bristol Art College in Furniture and interior design. After a highly successful career in furniture design he took early retirement to concentrate on his first love - painting in watercolour. His atmospheric work captures the soft and subtle light of the English landscape, but he also travels extensively in search of new and challenging subject matter. He has had one man shows in Holland, France and Dubai as well as London and the South East of England. He is a member of theWapping Group, has exhibited with the RI, NEAC, RSMA and the RWS. His work has featured in Artist and Illustrator Magazine and Paul regularly lectures on watercolour technique. Paul was elected RSMA in 2004, RI in 2005 and AROI in 2006.

GORDON RUSHMER Born in 1946 Gordon studied at Farnham School of Art. Having spent a number of very successful years as a graphic designer working for such clients as ICI, Glaxo and the Hunting Group, he turned with equal success to painting. His watercolours are subtle statements of light and shade that are highly emotive. He searches for the loneliness of nature in all its moods. He has had many important commissions: The Royal Marines, the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps, the National Library, the British Embassy Warsaw, and the private collection of Nelson Mandela. His work is becoming highly collected both here and abroad.

NEIL SPILMAN Born in 1951 Neil lives and works in Yorkshire. His highly detailed paintings in oil cover both landscape and wildlife. Indeed his wildlife paintings have been commissioned by the WWF no less than 10 times in the past. But it is his landscape studies that have brought him fame. Having been featured on TV in 1982 his work is much sought after both here and abroad. He combines a sure skill of composition and fine detail to draw the viewer in; but you are then able to step back again to amire the whole. His work has been widely published.

EDWARD STAMP RI Born in 1939 Edward studied at Northampton School of Art. A period of commercial work and freelance illustration followed both in pen and ink and engraving. His painting in watercolour also developed and by 1973 he had held many successful exhibitions. In 1980 he won the bronze medal at the RI and was immediately elected a member. He works both in oil and watercolour, concentrating on the landscape around his home in Bedfordshire. Farms and barns, fields and hedgerows are all captured in his inimitable style. He has been the recipient of many awards for his work over the years.
