James Hedge
His most recent works focus on the Exe estuary and in particular Dawlish Warren which offers a broad landscape, a wide sky and reflected light. Here he finds a huge diversity of both natural and human interest. His approach whilst founded on the observational is not to represent what he sees directly. He chooses instead to tease out the elements of interest to him in pursuit of a timeless portrayal of the landscape. Depicting small figures in a broad scape his work echoes the Romanticists notion of the "sublime" and evokes a resonant atmosphere of place.
