Contemporary Artists

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.

PETER TOMS RMS HS Born in 1940, Peter is best known for his marine and coastal studies in watercolour. He also paints landscape. interior and figurative subjects. His work is included in the corporate collections of British Aerospace, Vosper Thorneycroft, Brittany Ferries, the Royal Hampshire Regiment and the Royal Navy. His paintings are regularly accepted for major London exhibitions, by provincial UK galleries and in Belgium, France and Portugal. Peter has quite justly become a much-admired tutor and lecturer of modern watercolour techniques and it is this facet of his work, which is so attractive to the collector.

Alan Simpson RSMA (1941 - 2007) Born in 1941. Alan Simpson drew the inspiration for his paintings from the many ports and harbours along the South, West and East Anglian coasts. Working in a variety of media - Watercolour, Oil, Pastel and Acrylic, he usually allowed the subject to demand the medium to be used - the medium that expresses the idea best. In 1979 he was elected a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists and his diploma painting is in the permanent collection and custody of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. Exhibitions in the UK include the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Southampton Civic Art Gallery, and the Mall Gallery in London. He exhibited for many years in America and Canada. Alan died in 2007 and will be sadly missed. The loss of a great talent.
