Acrylic on paper, 56 × 76cm
Gavin Lockheart's figurative paintings draw upon multiple sources including film and television, old family photos, and memories of travel. Characterised by the use of flooded, layered washes, his landscapes evoke a sense of nostalgia - whilst the characters that inhabit them often take on a translucent quality.
This framed work on paper was part of our ‘A Day at the Seaside’ exhibition and online collection. Featuring three statuesque figures in inky-dark water, it has the theatrical quality that characterises Gavin’s paintings. The artist says; ‘‘A Grand Plan’ was inspired by someone on Corfu telling me that the Albanians used to swim over to burgle homes. To evade the Greek coastguard, it was said that they used to put hollowed out melons - or footballs - on their heads’.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
