About the Item
Moody skies over the sea.
Richard K Blades’ To Return is a captivating artwork that captures the vastness and drama of a seascape, where earth and sky blend in a mesmerizing dance. The painting’s top half is dominated by a turbulent sky, filled with swirling clouds rendered in soft pinks and deep grays, suggesting an impending storm. The horizon is a thin, dark line, separating the tumultuous sky from the calm sea below. The sea, painted in deep blues with hints of white, mirrors the sky’s intensity. The foreground features rugged, textured brushstrokes in earthy tones, evoking a sense of rough, coastal terrain. The artist’s deft use of color and movement creates a striking contrast between the turbulent sky and the serene sea, drawing the viewer into the scene’s emotional depth. This artwork stands out for its dynamic interplay of light and shadow, capturing the raw power and beauty of nature.
Richard K Blades is an expressive English landscape painter in the English Romantic tradition. He follows in a long line of artists such as Turner, Constable, Seago, Daubigney and Courbet who chose the sky, sea and land as their source of inspiration. Painting with oil on board his works use thick paint to capture the crash of a wave, the setting sun, the whistle of a gentle breeze or roar of a blowing gale.
The span of centuries matters little. Technology has advanced, society has shifted, but the landscape is always there, as something eternal, the ever-changing muse, always present, yet never the same.

The Wave By Helen Robinson [2020]
The Wave is one of a series of contemporary abstracted seascapes exploring the way light interacts with sky, earth and water. This work suggests the way light reflects on the ever-changing tidal channels which make intricate patterns through areas of saltmarsh. The use of bright colour, expressive brushmarks and tonal blending present a calm scene, with the suggestion of a white wave just below the horizon.

Helen Robinson's atmospheric oil paintings represent impressionable moments in her life, mostly inspired by her love of travel and the sea. Following a career in town planning, Helen pursued her interest in art and has now been painting regularly for over 15 years. In 2013, she obtained an Honours degree in Art History when she found she was drawn mostly to artists who painted light. Influences include the 17th century Dutch landscape painters and William Turner, particularly his works. Helen's recent paintings are contemporary sea and cloudscapes which have a strong sense of light, mystery and drama. Memories and photographs of travel and sailing experiences provide the starting point for her work which then evolves in a more abstracted way. She focuses on the way light interacts with sky, earth and water - both vast expanses of sea and intricate salt marshes with their detailed patterns of water...
