| MERVYN
GOODE Born in 1948, Mervyn studied at Gloucester College of Art. Working exclusively in oils, he has concentrated on landscape around his Hampshire home. Rather than seeking out the obvious, he is constantly looking for an intimate viewpoint, being ever mindful of Constable's councelling that "Nature never reveals herself in the fullness of her glory to the arrogant painter - the artist must go into the field with a humble mind". Since his first one man show in 1970, Mervyn has gained a reputation as one of the leading landscape painters in England today. His work can be seen in galleries in London and throughout the UK and his work has featured in Fine Art books and periodicals. | ![]() | |
| GILLIAN
FURLONG
Gillian studied at Epsom and Camberwell Schools of Art. In 1968, while still a student, she won the coveted David Murray Landscape Prize at the Royal Academy. Indeed her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy without a break since that year. Gillian works in oil on a small scale. Her refreshingly direct approach to both subject and medium enhances Gillian's chosen subjects to create images that are intimate and at the same time capture the sense of distance, atmosphere and place. Her paintings have a thoughtful feel and gentleness about them that give them great humility and a sense of timelessness. | ![]() | |
