"My paintings are inspired by the rich history and natural beauty of the northern English landscape." - Alex Appleby
Alexander Appleby’s paintings bring forth his personal fascination with the bucolic English landscape that has surrounded him throughout his life. Having grown up in Lancashire, he translates the rich history and vibrant beauty of northern England through a distinctly contemporary lens. Hazy, evocative and difficult to define, his paintings create a unique dialogue between the realms of the natural and the manmade probing at important questions regarding our relationship with the landscapes we inhabit.
