Anthony Hambly

Anthony Hambly is a Cornish artist who has spent much of his life on the North Coast between Trebetherick and Port Isaac.  The rugged and often tumultuous landscape has often inspired a rapid and loose style, utilising both memory and ability and producing works that can echo the spirit of the place.

Hambly executes drawings of figures, often with great rapidity, without compromising on their visual effect.  In the last year his works, especially those that begin with the notion of a landscape, have tended towards abstraction.  This process, as seen in the life works of masters such as Kandinsky, is not an immediate and complete change of style but rather a departure in a new direction that has already started defining its own experience.
