King Harry Ferry, Simeon STAFFORD
King Harry Ferry
Simeon Stafford
2010
Oil Painting
LOT NOTES
Quite an occasion in the Cornish harbour town, the arrival of a The King Harry Ferry, giving cause for celebration and an opportunity to watch the comings & goings from the bunting bedecked boat. Here we see Stafford in the role of observer and celebrant of the life of his beloved Cornwall. We believe this to be a composite piece by Stafford as the only Cornish ferry of this name crosses the River Fal and is a small roll on/roll off, a ship of this size could possibly be an interpretation of The Scillonian which plies provides a link between Penzance and the Scilly Isles. Whatever the story it's a lovely, happy piece by Simeon Stafford. Naturally Auntie Dot & Trixie couldn't miss this event!
PROVENANCE
Purchased by us directly from the artist.
ARTIST INFORMATION
Simeon Stafford was born in Dukinfield (a small northern town bordering the Pennines) in 1959. As a young artist, his landscapes were similar to the gritty northern landscapes of L.S.Lowry and other northern English artists. At the age of 14, Stafford met L.S Lowry who encouraged him to paint. Simeon moved to Cornwall in 1996, where he met the artists Terry Frost & Patrick Heron. Thus his northern roots fused with the influence of colour & light from Frost & Heron and the magnetism of West Penwith to create an expressionism within his work which is both powerful and alluring. Not concerned with angst and soul searching, in his own words "there is enough of that in the world of news today", Stafford's work is deeply idiosyncratic and reflects a world full of incident and accident, with splashes of vibrant colour and amusing compositions. He charmingly combines reality and imagination, with many of his paintings featuring characters from his family, including Auntie Dot, the little girl who is constantly doing a handstand, Trixie, the family Jack Russell, who lived until she was 28 and is now stuffed and a resident of Simeon’s bedroom and the black seaside donkey. Widely regarded as one of the country's leading living artists, Stafford exhibited at the Royal Academy in 2001 and in 2003 he became a member of The Birmingham Society of Artists. His work can be found in numerous private collections, including those of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
