Trevor Bell – Tide Race

£0.00

Artist: Trevor Bell

Artwork: Tide Race

Year: 1995

Medium: Oil on canvas

Artwork Size: 108 × 149 cm

Tide Race, painted in 1995, reflects Trevor Bell’s enduring fascination with the power, movement and atmosphere of the natural world.

Bell’s relationship with the landscape was central to his practice, particularly the dramatic coastline and changing conditions of Cornwall. Rather than depicting a specific view, he translated the experience of landscape into abstraction, using colour, gesture and form to convey its energy and physical presence.

In Tide Race, the title evokes the powerful movement created when tidal currents meet, suggesting speed, turbulence and shifting water. Bell transforms these sensations into a dynamic abstract composition, allowing movement to be experienced through the interaction of colour and form across the canvas.

Painted in oil on canvas and measuring 108 × 149 cm, Tide Race is a strong example of Bell’s mature practice and his ability to transform the forces and rhythms of the landscape into expressive abstraction.
