'The seasons and the constantly changing moods of the countryside are my inspiration.' Nicholas Hely Hutchinson In the following group of works Nicholas Hely Hutchinson takes us with him on his travels from the south coast of England in Cornwall to France and the shores of Greece. Despite Hely Hutchinson's passion for travel he takes much of his inspiration from the local countryside and coast in Dorset where he lives with his wife and two lurchers, who frequently appear in his paintings shown walking through the landscape. Born in 1955, Nicholas Hely Hutchinson studied at St. Martins School of Art followed by Fine Art at Bristol Polytechnic. 1984 marked Hely Hutchinson's first one-man exhibition and he has continued to exhibit both in London and internationally. Between 1997-2022 Hely Hutchinson was represented by the Portland Gallery and is now represented by the John Martin Gallery. Lot 134 shows beautiful vibrant red poppies blowing in the wind with the mountainous peaks of the Southern France in the background.
