Lindsay Rough - contemporary artist



Much of my work is abstracted from memory and imaginings. Vibrant and colourful still lives and landscapes in a semi-abstract style result. My paintings develop from initial ideas of landscape or objects, and through colour and texture become realisations of an idea of place or subject. The gallery page of this website gives examples of my work, with medium, size and price. These change as work is sold and new work created.



Dutch harbour - oil on canvas


I am constantly entranced by colour, and try to engage the eye with purity of tone and value. I enjoy the quality of the paint itself, particularly when combined with a medium for texture or additional body. The use of other media enhances texture and contrast.
I generally work on canvas, paper or board, and with acrylics, watercolour, mixed media and sometimes oils. Paintings on canvas are normally unframed to hang directly on the wall, while other supports can be mounted and framed in simple wooden frames by me or for you to choose after purchase. Some in the gallery are shown in simple frames.

I have work in private collections and have exhibited in London, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. I took part in the Herts Open Studios event in September 2007 and September 2008.

Examples of my work can be seen at www.artybiz.com (search for 'painter, Hertfordshire') and at www.island-of-art.com

I am taking part in the Autumn show of Watford Area Arts Forum artists at the Harlequin Centre, Upper Gallery, from the 15th November to the 23rd November inclusive. The gallery is open from 10 to 6 every day except Sunday, when it is open from 11 to 4.

My home studio is in Watford, Hertfordshire, and you can visit by appointment. Simply send me an email (lindsayjrough@hotmail.co.uk) and I will contact you. I am a member of Watford Area Arts Forum and Hertfordshire Visual Arts Forum (www.hvaf.org.uk).
