LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS BY ANTHONY BAMBER
Anthony Bamber’s landscape paintings are an exuberant celebration of the English countryside, in particular the Yorkshire Dales. These paintings seem to generate a feeling of wellbeing. They are ‘modern’ in that they are very much of their time, whilst acknowledging those artists in the landscape tradition whose influence they have absorbed: Constable, Turner, Cotman, Palmer and Cézanne. At the same time these works evoke our own memories of nature, the smell of damp grass after a shower of rain, the sounds of a sunny day, and the intensity and vastness of a blue sky.
What is most noticeable about Anthony Bamber’s work is the colour. The sheer joy in the whole palette, and the positive harmonies created by the juxtapositions, the artist’s sensitivity to the day, the weather, and being in the world, together with his energy, shine out in a manner that one could say is uplifting. There may, on occasion, be stormy weather, but these paintings imply a positive spirit and gratitude for the glory of the natural world.
Landscape lives like some arcadia in our collective memory and these paintings, I hope you will agree, remind us of it.
