Landmark – Landscape Paintings and Other Works

From12th to 23rd August, I will be showing my latest Landmark landscape paintings and other works at The Crypt Gallery in Seaford. Most of my landscapes feature our stunning East Sussex and places like the Cuckmere Valley and Ditchling Beacon, which I try to capture in a bold and colourful way. Walking in nature and looking at artworks that embrace nature’s essence is uplifting and therapeutic. My philosophy is to use colour and form to reconnect us with our roots, in the earth and the natural cycle of the seasons. In a similar way, the Rock and Ore series of modern works look at nature more directly; in rock layers that span millions of years. I used my previous experience as a graphic designer to make the rock forms I came across, into a more unified series of paintings to heighten the senses. With information overload and shortening attention spans we crave a return to simplicity and connectedness. For me, nature in all its forms symbolises this yearning. Since 2017, I have been teaching Watercolour, Acrylic and Drawing courses at St James’ Trust in Seaford, which is an excellent venue for all sorts of community activities. I offer a structured and layered approach, with a sense of humour, to give my students the best possible array of painting techniques so that they can progress confidently. I also intend to run a Creativity for Wellbeing art course in Seaford if there is enough interest. Back in 2015, realising that there was no internet platform to give people creative inspiration, I built one! I remember that when I did my teacher training, I could have benefitted from a resource full of ideas for art activities, which inspired me to create www. creatvity4wellbeing.com. Enjoy! I look forward to seeing you at the exhibition. Do come and browse! Richard Potter BA Hons PGCE MA
