AFTER SOLO EXHIBITIONS - THROUGHOUT THE NINETIES - IN CUMBRIA, OXFORD, SUFFOLK & SUSSEX, NICK SCHLEE’S EXHIBITION, "PORTRAITS OF A LANDSCAPE" BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO LANDSCAPES IN TWO OTHER ENGLISH COUNTIES: BERKSHIRE & WILTSHIRE
Today is the
last day to see Weybridge-born artist, Nick Schlee’s current exhibition,
"Portraits of a Landscape," which is taking place at Gallery 27 in Cork
Street.
Born in 1931, Schlee has studied art at various schools, including
Putney Art School in the mid-fifties. More recently, he has had solo
exhibitions in Cumbria, Oxford, Suffold and Sussex. We visited the
opening last Monday, where we met and talked with the artist and saw
much of his exhibition, staged on two floors. There are nearly three
dozen oils on show, all of which have been painted on board. Prices
range from three at £425 up to seven at £3,000. Our favourite paintings
include one of these top-priced landscapes, the "Long Shadows near
Aldworth" (£3,000, 48" x 55").
On the back wall of the
gallery’s upstairs you will see another of our favourites. It is titled, "Barn
beneath the Ridgeway" (£2,200, 42" x 48") and shows a landscape scene
interspersed with many trees. Go along and see these and many others. It is a
wonderful opportunity to discover what scenes of Berkshire and Wiltshire you
like, and – you never know! You might come away the happy new owner of a lovely
picture. Just guessing… but, probably your home could do with a lovely painting
of the English countryside, showing barns, fields, stubble and/or trees!
