Seaside
Artists have long since been drawn to the sea. Reverential of its beauty and power, the seaside also represents a technical challenge for artists – infinite shades of colour lying beneath blue sky and yellow sand, an ever shifting shoreline. For viewers, art set by the sea can be calming, nostalgic, sublime or refreshing. It sweetens beach houses and brightens city-locked apartments, providing mental vacations and reminders of nature’s poetic power.
