The luminous light
and relaxed lifestyle of the Mediterranean are brilliantly captured in this
spectacular collection of paintings by one of Britain’s most acclaimed landscape
artists. Jeremy Barlow takes us on a tour of France, Spain and Italy in which
the unique flavour of each location is depicted by observing the activities of
people in their less formal everyday moments – congregating in cafés and
restaurants, browsing in bookshops, strolling along winding back streets,
chatting in doorways or simply sitting watching the world go by.
In preparing for this exhibition, Jeremy travelled extensively in France,
stopping to paint in Paris, Tours and Lyons before spending several weeks
painting the picturesque towns and villages of Provence and the regions around
St Tropez and Pezenas. In Italy, Jeremy’s itinerary took him to Venice, Verona,
San Gimignano, Sienna and Lucca, and then on to Naples. This exhibition also
includes a number of paintings of Barcelona, Seville and Granada – together with
a series of English landscapes inspired by the North Yorkshire and Norfolk
countryside.
A leading member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Jeremy Barlow has
exhibited annually at Llewellyn Alexander since 1989.
