Auguste Blackman, son of Charles Blackman, paints with enormous sensuality and feeling. In ‘Hero’ he pays tribute to a guardian of the shoreline – the lifesaver. Reminiscent of days spent sprawled on the sand, Auguste’s work is a reminder to cherish joy and see the world in full colour. Perhaps also, having painted the lifesaver’s cheeks a brilliant pink, it is a reminder to heed the sun rays.

For admirers of the Blackmans, portraiture and those hankering for a beach holiday, place your home under the watchful eye of Augustes ‘Hero’.
