Boat-iful Fowey

Tom says: 

Fowey has such a laid-back, timeless feel. A place where you can lose hours watching the tide shift and the boats gently rock. I wanted this piece to reflect that calm rhythm of harbour life: colourful dinghies pulled up on the shoreline, whitewashed buildings catching the sunlight, and the still, glassy water that stretches out into the estuary.

There’s a balance here between lively detail and peaceful space, just like the town itself. This original is for anyone who finds joy in Cornish harbours, moored sails, and quiet summer moments

"Being challenged daily and discovering new and exciting ways of pushing boundaries keeps me motivated. My mixed media landscapes have something to say, which I like to express with collage and typography."

Butler creates this narrative with an expert use of characterisation; the people that occupy his scenes, a stylised representation of society that has often been compared to L.S. Lowry, are complemented and modernised with Butler’s collages.His inclusion of newspaper text, slogans, statements or a single word, adds a depth and intrigue that keeps the audience hooked.This murmur from the artist, a quiet commentary accompanying the scene itself can be likened to the hum of the city, the gentle chatter of a metropolis. With this, Butler brings an essence of the City onto our walls and into our homes.
