Edward
Beale is a modern
figurative painter. He uses oil paint
in a vigorous and robust way resulting in exciting contemporary images. His approach can be traced to a grounding
in the traditional disciplines of close observation and drawing. A London painter born and bred, he trained at
Camberwell and the Royal Academy Schools. Important subjects for
Edward are the ever-changing urban landscapes around his Lambeth home and
along the Thames.
As well as London he finds inspiration in the Outer Hebrides,
Paris (from a barge on the Seine), the foothills of the Pyrenees, the Dordogne, and recently the Castile region of Spain.
He also makes portraits, life-paintings, flower paintings and other
still-life studies. The power in his
paintings comes from the tension between the solidity of their structure and
the flamboyance and verve in the application of paint. The artist’s imagination and vision
radiates out of the work as you look at it on the wall. His work is in private collections all over
the world. Contact: info@impasto.freeserve.co.uk
