A popular and acclaimed contemporary Welsh based artist, David Knight was born in Essex in 1965, but has lived in Wales most of his life. He is currently living and working in Cardiff. Knight studied Fine Art at the University of Wales Institute Cardiff and graduated with a BA in 1996. He paints the changing moods of the Welsh landscape, ghostly enigmatic figures and – the subject for which he is perhaps best-known, beautiful delicate nudes. He is inspired by a long history of figurative painting; “I’ve always been influenced by figures, whoever painted them and in whatever form, but especially work by Rodin, John Singer Sargeant and Michelangelo “he says, “I love muscular human form. It’s sculptural in itself; I think most of my work is sculptural – I don’t know why I paint – I should be doing sculpture!”, he laughs. “I think the body is a fascinating and beautiful subject to work from, I never get bored of painting it”. In recent years Knight has had regular shows at several major provincial galleries, including the Albany Gallery, Cardiff, St. David’s Hall, Cardiff – both Summer and Christmas exhibitions, the Wiseman Gallery, Oxford and the Campden Gallery, Gloucestershire. He was voted “People’s Choice” in Welsh Artist of the Year 2000 and has won “Best Painting” at the 9th Annual St David’s Hall Christmas Exhibition. His work is both current and collectable. © Big Sky Fine Art This original oil on canvas depicts a single female nude, lying on a sheet on ruffled white linen. She is a brunette, white skinned, but tanned and her skin has a soft sheen. She lies on her side with her back to the viewer, breasts half hidden by her right arm, but her legs and bottom largely exposed. There is an undeniable tension in the painting, the subject looks up with a thoughtful expression and one wonders whether we have infringed on her modesty, or should admire her beauty.

The canvas and the painted surface have benefitted from cleaning and conservation, which was performed on our instruction, supervision and approval. This vintage painting is now in very good condition. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower left. A later dedication to “Louise” dated April 1942 in the artist’s hand is set around the earlier signing. Raymond Moritz was a French impressionist artist and illustrator. He was born in Paris on 8 July 1891. His family came from the Alsace region and were poor and Catholic. On his mother’s side, the Staubs were from Wihr-au-Val where they had been coopers for several generations. His uncle, Marie Clement Staub, was the founder in Canada of the Sisters of Saint Joan of Arc. Moritz fought during the Great War in the Picardy region of the Somme with the 2nd machine gunner company. He won the French 1914-1918 War medal with bronze palm attachment, which signifies that the awardee was mentioned in dispatches at army level. Moritz obviously created some art during the war because during the inauguration of the new town hall in the town of Albert he was congratulated by the French President, Albert Lebrun, and the British press for the paintings he had produced. Albert was the main town behind the lines for the Allies on the Somme battle fields...

First Light Oil Painting of Mother and Baby, Framed, Signed

First Light Oil Painting of Mother and Baby, Framed, Signed

By Elin Sian Blake

Located in Sutton Poyntz, Dorset

Elin Siân Blake. Welsh ( b.1981). First Light. Oil On Canvas. Signed Lower Left. Image size 23.4 inches x 17.3 inches ( 59.5cm x 44cm ). Frame size 28.5 inches x 22.4 inches ( 72.5cm x 57cm ). Available for sale; this original painting is by the contemporary Welsh artist Elin Sian Blake. The painting is presented and supplied in a sympathetic frame (which is shown in these photographs) and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower left. Elin Siân Blake is a contemporary Brecon-based artist, originally from the South Wales valleys, whose work delves deeply into the rich tapestry of Welsh heritage. Through various mediums, she creates poignant reflections of societal and cultural issues that have shaped the Welsh identity. Born in 1981, Elin Siân Blake began producing commissioned artwork from an early age, focussing on the traditional Welsh ponies and landscapes of her childhood. She was particularly inspired by the agricultural and equestrian events she attended. As a teenager she spent all her spare money on art supplies. Blake graduated from the University of Glamorgan in 2002 with a degree in graphic design and illustration, but quickly realised that she wanted to create conventional paintings, rather than producing digital images. She then spent several years living on the road in vintage vehicles, painting the scenes and characters she encountered on her travels. Blake taught herself oil painting using library books, originally producing very detailed photo-realistic images. Her artistic style developed considerably over the years, becoming more expressive. Blake’s main emphasis is always her love of images from the Welsh countryside and industry. As she explores the heritage of the Welsh valleys, she paints a social commentary on everyday Welsh working life. Her work captures the essence of Welsh tradition whilst simultaneously challenging societal norms. Bold and evocative, Blake's art invites the viewer to take a critical look at the complexities and nuances of Welsh heritage. By melding her artistic vision with a profound cultural understanding, she presents a thought-provoking examination of the past, present, and future of Wales. © Big Sky Fine Art This is a stunning and very tender image of a mother and baby, sitting by a window in the first light of a new day. It is all the more intimate because it is in fact a self-portrait of the artist shortly after the birth of her own daughter. The baby is wrapped in a soft cream blanket and is being held to her mother’s breast, feeding or sleeping after feeding. The mother, dazzingly beautiful, is captured in the dappled light of the new dawn. The background is sparse, making the image almost timeless. The young woman is sitting on a modest wooden chair and on the wall behind her is a hand-carved traditional Welsh love spoon...
