Colin Halliday
British, 1964
Colin Halliday was born and bred in Cumbria, and having worked on cityscapes for many years, has now moved to the Derbyshire countryside. To unearth a rich affinity with the rural that reaches beyond the bland and re-connects with the troubling majesty of Turner’s landscapes his new landscapes emanate a freshness and force that speaks directly to the viewer. In these paintings nature is neither distant nor merely pretty.
Stirred by the atmospheric and dramatic, Halliday is a Romantic in the true sense of the word, yet his instinct for conveying the immediacy of the elemental is channelled through his painterly dexterity. Using his signature vitality and skill his paintings shine with energy and light.
