11 March 2010 - RBA Red Rag Award Winner




Karl Terry has been presented with this year’s Red Rag Gallery Award – at the Royal Society of British Artists Annual Open Exhibition – for his painting 'On the Rother'. The art work is on view at the RBA Open Exhibition at the Pall Mall Galleries, London until 21 March.

Karl paints outside in all weathers. He shares the view of most en plein air painters in that he believes he has the best teacher of all in nature itself: "I paint directly from nature and my painting is my personal and immediate response to being submerged in the atmosphere. My continued learning to see colour has been a revelation and has opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounds us, even in the mundane"

’On the Rother’ , as winner of the Red Rag Gallery Award, is representative of Karl’s broader body of expressive art work, in this case capturing the unhurried flow of the river in a gentle palette. Karl’s work will feature at Red Rag gallery later this year.
