Edward Beale is a
modern figurative painter. He uses oil
paint in a vigorous and robust way resulting in exciting contemporary
images. His approach can be traced to
a grounding in the traditional disciplines of close observation and drawing. A London painter born and bred, he trained at
Camberwell and the Royal Academy Schools. Important subjects for
Edward are the ever-changing urban landscapes around his Lambeth home and
along the Thames.
As well as London he finds inspiration in the Outer Hebrides,
Paris (from a barge on the Seine), the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Dordogne, and
recently the Castile region of Spain. He also makes portraits,
life-paintings, flower paintings and other still-life studies. The power in his paintings comes from the
tension between the solidity of their structure and the flamboyance and verve
in the application of paint. The
artist’s imagination and vision radiates out of the work as you look at it on
the wall. His work is in private
collections all over the world. Contact: info@impasto.freeserve.co.uk
