11. TERRY SCALES

Living by the Thames all my life it has naturally become my favourite subject matter, not only in its grand pictorial space, but also as a spectacle of its labour and workforce. Invariably my paintings are stimulated by a series of on-the-spot drawings, usually quite detailed. I find the heraldic touches of colour on the tugs and other vessels’ funnels quite exciting in contrast to the green/grey values of the water vistas. There is a dogged toughness about these craft as they manoeuvre vessels twice their size to wharves further upstream. Although my family worked on the Thames for generations, I was the first member to actually record its daily activity.

15. GILES WINTER

Giles was born in 1947 in Gravesend, Kent, but educated and ‘artschooled’ in Cheltenham. “When I was young I remember Cheltenham as very Edwardian in style, it made a very strong impression on me; later I made several paintings of the town’s cafés and restaurants.” After graduating in Cheltenham, Giles move to London to spend a post graduate year at Goldsmith’s college studying teaching. There followed a spell of 15 years teaching Art & Design at a large comprehensive school in S. London. ‘I was very lucky to join a strong team in an excellent Art Department. Most of us were part-time and used any spare time for painting. It was great to work with other artists and exhibit together.’ From 1976 onwards, he regularly exhibited with galleries in Belgium and his work has rarely been shown in the U.K. In 1987 he started working with Freeform Art works – a company then making decorative hoardings for property companies.
In the past few years he has shown work in "Discerning eye"; Royal Academy Summer show (2015); Royal Society of British Artists (2017, 2018). He has also undertaken numerous private commissions.
