One family of three generations of artists present their diverse work – at the Southend Library.
‘Three Ages in Art’ include the latest impressionistic oil portraits and landscapes from local painter John Harwood; adventurer son Phil’s travel photography; and granddaughter Jemma who will be presenting analogue photography and digital imagery.
Johns’ figurative oil painting expresses the beauty of the landscape around us, both manmade and natural, where within the composition of elements a narrative or emotion emanates. John has exhibited previously, including prize winning works at the Beecroft Gallery’s Open Exhibition.
Phil’s intrepid journeys yield profound insights into the lives of native fishermen and villagers, from the photographer’s five month canoe trip through the Congo. Traversing two thousand, eight hundred miles of Congo River and averaging eight hours paddling each day, Phil developed a reverent understanding of this most dangerous region and the beauty it holds.
