Oil on canvas, 45 x 35cm
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, ghostly quality.
‘Her Background’ was part of our ‘A Day at the Seaside’ exhibition and online collection. Inspired by a postcard of Clacton Pier - which features in the film ‘Blue Murder at St. Trinians’ - this vibrant oil on canvas work is evocative of L.S. Lowry’s crowded cityscapes. Gavin’s contemporary interpretation - with its vivid pink pathway- illustrates the artist’s ability to merge mutliple sources. As with many of his images the result is theatrical, and suggests both familiarity and mystery.
Purchased works are usually despatched within three working days.
