Howard Coles
Elected to RCA 2001
Howard Coles Born in Cardiff. Has lived on the Lleyn Peninsula since 1991. Studied at Cardiff College of Art.
“I came to painting via training in sculpture at Cardiff and in Printmaking while teaching in Singapore. Both left their mark. Techniques and processes crossed boundaries and eased transitions between mark making and form producing work. I try,so far as I am able,to bring another layer of interpretation to the paintings of the coastline of my native Wales. Translating the timeless natural elements of an area which still wears the traumas of landscape born out of fire and cataclysmic upheavals is now ingrained.”
