Having come through a particularly wild, wet and grey winter, the contrast when the weather changed, when the sun appeared and the grey fog and mists cleared, was almost palpable. Spirits lifted, people I met out and about appeared more cheerful, and there was a general sense of optimism. These musings were the starting point for this collection of paintings, which show horizons near and far.
Neil Davies, 2026
This new collection by painter Neil Davies takes us to the remote edge of the Cornish Peninsula. Beginning with the closing days of last winter, Neil's paintings take us through the emerging season to marvel at the views revealed by the clear skies of spring and early summer. Lifting our eyes and our spirits in expansive artworks soaked with colour, these paintings reach for the distant horizon, hinting at the joy of possibilities ahead.
