Tim Fudge

composition, Fudge reimagines the Pembrokeshire coastline at the height of early summer. A luminous sky of layered blues and whites opens above a terrain alive with greens, yellows, and flashes of pink—suggesting gorse, wildflowers, and the energetic growth of June.

The thick, impasto brushwork is characteristic of Fudge’s practice: bold palette‑knife strokes create a tactile surface that captures the physicality of the land. This approach echoes the expressive lineage of the Scottish Colourists, the gestural freedom of Joan Eardley, and the atmospheric abstraction associated with the St Ives School. As in his June, Pwll Deri works, Fudge distils the coastal landscape into elemental contrasts—cool sky against warm earth, dense texture against open space, abstraction against fleeting recognisable forms.

The result is a painting that conveys the vitality of the British coastline in summer. Rather than offering a literal view, Fudge presents an emotional impression: the brightness of June light, the movement of wind across flowers and grasses, and the sense of a landscape fully alive. It is a contemporary expression of British Art’s enduring fascination with place, season, and the power of colour to evoke experience.
