The paintings in this exhibition are my responses to the colours and patterns I see every day. Changes to the light, from the changes in the times of day and weather, provide me with a kaleidoscope of colours.br This plethora of colours provides me with a rich palette to draw from. And the constantly changing display of ships, their various loads, harbourside buildings and machinery, provide me with another range of shapes, forms and outlines.br Why I choose to paint what I see in an abstracted form can be partly explained in a quote from Alberto Giacometti, ‘The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create another reality of the same intensity’.br And Georgia O’Keefe provides me with another apposite quote ‘I found I could say things with colours and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way’.” -br Norman Sutton-Hibbertbr Bio:br I’ve painted for most of my life and now consider myself to be a multi-media artist. This exhibition ‘Views From My Studio’ is mostly of small paintings – and I’ve used enamel paints on wooden panel. There is one woodblock printbr assemblage – the largest work in the exhibition.br When I’m not painting I also print from woodblocks, make collagesmixed media works, do some performance and create sculptures and art installations. I began making sculptures and art installations, in which I primarily use founddomestic fabrics and clothing, when I was studying sculpture at Glasgow School of Art.br CVbr br Born Manchester, England, 1947br Based in Scotland since 1969br EDUCATION AND QUALIFICATIONSbr Educated in Germany and England.
