Arwyn Quick is no stranger to painters
Tubes magazine as we have featured
his abstract work in a special feature.
Then, as now, his work shows
a passion for vibrant colour and
the natural world inspired by the
remote Derbyshire Peaks in the UK.
Tubes were quite taken by Arwyn’s
abstractions based on landscape,
however in the work shown here is the
style that the artists is better known for
in his local community.
The colour however remains the
same as the abstraction paintings
seen previously in the earlier issues of
painters Tubes.
They are strong and powerful using
Arwyn’s high colour toned preferred
choice of palette - seemingly
generating an inner light that emits
from the paintings direct to the viewer.

This colour work is so strong that the
accomplished draftsmanship takes a little
while to become aware of.
However the surety of the artists line and
the composition of the paintings is what
totally wins over the viewer and the colour
becomes the means to enjoy this series of
realistic landscapes.
The artist subject preference is usually
landscape or seascape but also includes
still life work.
Arwyn was a school teacher and now
enjoys life as a full time painter.
He has exhibited for the last 16 years in
a host of exhibitions which began in 2003
with Elk Design in Chesterfield (UK).
