Richard Nott sold his most major work to date – ‘Sirens’,
a 15 foot triptych - to an important collection of modern and contemporary
art
Release of Trevor Bell, a major book presenting the life and work of one
of Britain's leading painters. Trevor Bell's paintings have been featured
at Tate St Ives - reflecting his status as a key figure in the development
of painting in the past half century. The book is illustrated from cover
to cover with a lifetime's work on canvas and paper, and with fascinating
documentary photographs from the artist's own archive. From the talented
Yorkshire lad who loved jazz and big motorbikes, Bell became a revered
elder statesman of abstract painting in Britain. Trevor Bell's work is
introduced by Chris Stephens of Tate Britain, a leading authority on 20th
and 21st-century painting. Elizabeth Knowles' biography follows Bell from
Leeds to London and St Ives, through his years in Florida and back to
Cornwall, where he now lives and works. Besides the landscapes closest
to his heart - the Yorkshire moors, the steamy 'heatscape' of Florida
and the wild Atlantic coasts of Cornwall - Bell's inspiration has often
come from his travels - always far off the beaten track in India, the
Himalayas, Burma, Mexico, Cuba and Peru. The book reflects the monumental
scale and glorious colour of Trevor Bell's major paintings. His resonant
and uniquely accessible paintings are its essential content. Bell's particular
character as an artist comes from the way he orchestrates his work with
perfect craftsmanship, only to create an opportunity for radical innovation.
He pushes for the unexpected, this extraordinary creative energy permeating
the book and providing an exhilarating breath of fresh air.
