British Art

Artist: Rex Preston

Painting: Spring in Chee Dale

The Peaks and Dales of Rex Preston''s native Derbyshire provide constant inspiration for his paintings. He spends as much time as possible outside sketching in preparation for his oil paintings. He seeks to capture the drama of the scenery as it changes depending on the light, weather and season. His style is light and impressionistic portraying the deeper character of the landscape as well as the immediate atmosphere and changing light and shade.

''Spring in Chee Dale'' shows the River Wye which runs through Chee Dale in Derbyshire. Chee Dale itself is a gorge flanked by limestone cliffs. The valley Is wooded in places and meadow land in other parts. Rex Preston has chosen to paint the luxuriance of Spring foliage dripping into the river gorge. Fresh green colour and dappled sunlight are reflected in the river and Preston captures a sense of the peace and beauty of the landscape he observes.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Rex Preston has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Rex Preston has had a number of solo art exhibitions at Derbyshire Art Galleries and Cornwall Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Rex Preston artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
