Sylvia ANTONSEN

There is a sense that this beach hut has been a place of busyness and holiday laughter and that everyone has now gone home. The bunting flags emphasise the poignancy. A hut that many people probably walk past unheeding each day has been chosen as a subject for this painting. It is a celebration of the unnoticed.

As in all Sylvia Antonsen paintings there is a sense of balance and completeness. Antonsen paints the beach hut in a way that highlights the texture and form of each detail of the design. The simple beauty of the boards and details of the windows that make up the old hut are all noted.

It is Sylvia Antonsen's great attention to detail and the careful execution of her oil paintings that characterise her contemporary art. One has the sense that no brushstroke is superfluous, each is deliberate and necessary. This measured approach lends a sublime stillness to Sylvia Antonsen's paintings.

Many of the Sylvia Antonsen's contemporary paintings exhibited at Red Rag Art Gallery are of scenes which have inspired Sylvia whilst travelling around the coast of Britain. Sylvia initially draws and takes photographs along with detail notes at each location. The paintings are then completed in her art studio.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Sylvia Antonsen has exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Sylvia Antonsen artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
