About The Artwork
In the Shadow of the Tate - part of the “ Mermaids of St Ives” collection I spent a couple of years living sketching and painting in St Ives, Cornwall and have made many art trips to the seaside town over the years. This has helped my understanding and appreciation of its magical qualities, becoming mesmerised by the beauty and quality of the light that the place is blessed to receive. This light plays tricks on reflections from the sky on water and creates amazing shadows across the beaches and buildings, constantly changing colours and intensity throughout the day. This oil painting on canvas of Porthmeor Beach in the shadow of the Tate was created from a perspective standing opposite the Tate, St Ives, looking North West across Porthmeor Beach to Mans Head and the headland beyond. The Tate St Ives is an amazing large contemporary art gallery building that stands proudly above Porthmeor Beach and at certain times of the day casts a large dark shadow onto the beach hiding areas of the golden sand giving it a darker atmospheric feel. The building imposes its impression on the beach creating its own structural abstract shape that changes as the day goes on. I have tried to capture that sense of presence and abstract in this beach scene. I hope the painting brings you as much pleasure as it has provided me in creating it.

United Kingdom
Inspired by the concept of change as a constant in life - whether it's air, water, earth or fire. I feel compelled to capture the mood, sense of movement and effects changing light has on everything. To date my key artistic influences have been the lives and works of Turner, Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali and Rothko. I am motivated by impressionism, with a love of the energy of abstract and I aim to move more in that direction. I try to impart the continuous abstract qualities and colour of life in my work Living by the sea in Cornwall gives me perspective to interpreting colours I see on a daily basis and capturing that sense of place in time. www.littlecornishkitchen.com website LIVE Please twitter me @McCurdieArt Facebook us at littlecornishkitchen
