MEET THE ARTIST
TOBIAS HODSON
Tobias Hodson spent fifteen years designing and building gardens. This created a broad and versatile base from which to explore flower painting - the choice of subject, its layout, and representation in two dimensions have architectural roots.
His work is influenced by many artists, mostly long gone. These include C17th Maria Sybilla Merian for her fabulous composition and wit, the C19th French birds of Barraband for depth of colour and consistency and Edward Lear for whom in the most serious studies there is often a lurking humour. In each of his paintings he is seeking to explore the strangeness of our existence. |
