Puertos insólitos

E spañol

Hoy vamos con el artista británico Cyril Croucher y su muy peculiar estilo de pintura. Nació en 1951 y se crió en un pequeño pueblo del condado de Essex. Se graduó en Arte en el Southend-on-Sea Art College, pero no fue hasta 20 años mas tarde, que se dedico en serio a la pintura, cosechando un enorme éxito por sus pinturas tan fuera de lo corriente.

Habiendo trabajado, entre muchos otras oficios, como constructor de buques, le fascinaban los puertos y los muelles y de manera especial los altos muros y edificios estropeados del puerto. Las alturas tan inusuales de esos edificios se le aparentaban como catedrales y así lo dejo plasmado.

Sus pinturas las crea con acrílicos y una técnica de borrado hasta dejar los colores casi translucidos. Con esas obras tan impresionantes crea una sensación de magnitud, calma y atemporalidad.

Croucher goza hoy en día de gran acogida y se le puede ver participando en muchas exposiciones por toda Inglaterra. Sus obras son enviadas a cualquier parte del mundo. Pueden buscar su nombre en Internet y ver mas sobre el. Lamentablemente no pude encontrar una pagina web propia.

La semana pasada presentamos a la artista rusa-escocesa Sofia Perina-Miller.

Today we are going with the British artist Cyril Croucher and his very peculiar style of painting. In 1951 he was born and raised in a small town in the county of Essex and graduated in Art at Southend-on-Sea Art College, but it was not until 20 years later, that he devoted himself seriously to painting, harvesting a huge success for his paintings so out of the ordinary.

Having worked among many other trades as a shipbuilder, he was fascinated by ports and quays, and especially by the high walls and damaged buildings of the port. The unusual heights of these buildings seemed to him like cathedrals, and that is how he interpreted them in his artwork.

His paintings are created with acrylics and a technique of erasing until the colors are almost translucent. With these impressive paintings, he creates a sense of magnitude, calm and timelessness.

Croucher enjoys a great fame today and can be seen participating in many exhibitions throughout England. His works are sent to any part of the world. You can search his name on the Internet and see more about him. Unfortunately I could not find a website of his own.

Last week we presented the Russian-Scottish artist Sofia Perina-Miller.
