Keith Grant by Judith LeGrove
£49.95 – Available from The Atkinson Shop
Keith Grant’s lifelong fascination with the natural world has drawn him towards elemental landscapes in Norway, Iceland, the tropics and Antarctica. Reflecting these experiences, the subjects of his paintings range from the English landscape, where his interest began in the 1950s, to volcanoes and glaciers, rainforests, the sea and the night sky, encountered from dramatically varied viewpoints. While most consistently attracted to northerly territories (he has lived in Norway since 1996), he continues to explore new ways of approaching his imagery. Music and poetry provide particular inspiration, as do history and mythology. Through such lenses, Grant encourages us to look again at nature, and to value more than ever its fragile beauty.
