and the sea remains an ever fascinating subject.

'Harbour Cove, Padstow' is a dramatic oil painting. Swirls of colour encompass both sea and sky.

The warm pastel colours and dramatic expression show a debt to Turner and the impressionists. 'I have been influenced throughout my painting career to a great extent by the wonderful light and drama in Turner's work and by the use of light and freedom of brushwork epitomised by The Impressionists. I admire the beauty and iridescence captured by the Pre'Raphaelites and the drama of Expressionism. In all, the interest in beauty, light and other worldliness, where the mundane becomes extraordinary and the familiar becomes surreal.'

As well as exhibiting her contemporary art at Red Rag Gallery Kate Van Suddese has exhibited widely in the north of England as well as several leading London galleries.

Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Kate Van Suddese artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
