Steve Read
Steve grew up in Cornwall and the coast has always been a great source of influence and inspiration for him. He was fortunate to have the Cornish painter John Piper as his art teacher at the school, and through him he gained a place at Falmouth Art School in 1987.
He then spent over ten years in the advertising and design industry, working in London and Amsterdam, before returning to the coast in 2003, in Dorset.
As an artist , Steve has a recurring interest in coastal landscapes and marine scenes, and his paintings often convey a sense of anticipation about spending the day at the beach.
Steve's work has been heavily influenced by travel posters of the 1920s and 1930s, where details are kept to a minimum and flat areas of color and strong shapes created by light and shadow are used.
A Another motivator for his art is color - he chooses to use a limited palette of desaturated, earthy hues.
