THE Mediterranean seascapes and the lush green hills of the English countryside feature in an exhibition of paintings by Sue Campion at The Minster Gallery in Winchester which runs until June 18.
Painting in pastels, Sue uses pure natural colours with subtle tones, light and shade.
She is primarily a colourist, inspired by the Fauvist movement as well as Matisse and Van Gogh.
Her compositions are steeped in nostalgia, especially her scenes of English fields in the winter. Evocative pine trees are a recurring theme and she remains entranced by their majesty and frequently returns to them as subjects when visiting the Mediterranean coast of France and Spain.
Sue Campion is a member of the Royal Society of British Artists and was featured earlier this year in an RBA exhibition at The Minster Gallery.
Sue was born in London in 1944. She studied Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University. She has had numerous solo exhibitions and her work is part of many private and corporate collections. She now lives in the Shropshire countryside that features in many of her paintings.
The Minster Gallery is in Great Minster Street just off The Square. It is open from 10am until 5.30pm Monday to Saturday.
