“Glorious art and setting – Will spread the word!”
HOWARD COLESHoward Coles studied sculpture at Cardiff College of Art - became heavily involved with photography and printmaking in the Far East and continued to develop his painting during a long career in art education.Working from his studio in North Wales, Howard's artistic climate involves a seemingly dichotomous role. As a painter intuitively constructing paintings on the one hand while on the other revealing the landscape via comparatively restrictive practices of photography. The two areas have embracing themes - a desire to prolong each visual experience, a reaction to a whole range of sensations, and to bring into play any enrichment which lies within sensitive use of paint or film.
