Great British Artists Of The UK
The UK has a great number of painters in different fields but today we are going to look at three of the most popular British artists. They are Beryl Cook, John Vettriano, and Doug Hyde.
The birth of Beryl Cook’s first child also marked the start of her getting involved in the field of painting. Beryl Cook made painting her hobby and being a hobby, Beryl Cook didn’t invest in any expensive painting materials. Instead, she chose to start by using her son’s paint set.
It was an antiques dealer that became Beryl Cook’s first fan. Her painting skills caught the attention of the dealer, who asked her if she could try selling her paintings in the antiques shop. Beryl Cook allowed it and they were able to sell the first 3 paintings very quickly. Feeling overwhelmed and inspired by the success of the paintings, she continued to produce her unique art.
Beryl Cook’s art is based on people watching. She has put on to canvass, the very things that we all do do everyday. Beryl Cook has been very observant of the happenings around her. This is what gets the attention of fans of her art because her paintings have those chubby caricatures that are based on real life people, thus adding a personal touch of experience to them. Some of her paintings, including Cruisin’, which portrays what the people are doing whilst on a cruise. Another piece called The Art Class shows the everyday life of art students in a class. For an everyday life of a tennis player, Beryl Cook shows the sports stars shaking hands after a game, emphasizing challenges, winning and losing as a part of our daily lives.
Just like Beryl Cook, Jack Vettriano, someone who tapped into his artistic side at a later age. It obviously wasn’t too late because he has become very popular with his paintings and prints. Before becomming an artist, Jack Vettriano quit school and worked in the mining industry.
Jack Vettriano prints present people who are dressed in elegant, sophisticated clothing and in most cases are members of the richer end of society. His most popular art is The Singing Butler, in which a couple are dancing in the rain on a beach with their butler and maid. Another is the Yesterday’s Dreams painting, which shows a sophisticated lady that is looking out of a window. Turneresque showcases three couples that are dancing, a frequent theme in Jack Vettriano’s work just like romance, sensuality, and elegance which are often found in his work.
An up and coming British artist is Doug Hyde. What differentiates Doug Hyde from Beryl Cook and Jack Vettriano is that he was able to tap his artistic side at a young age and focused on the ins and outs of painting so he could become a professional artist as he is today.
Doug Hyde artworks are literally handmade because he uses his hands and fingers as if they were brushes. Using pastel, he paints according to his emotions and moods. This is Doug Hyde’s way of putting emotion in to his artwork. Contemporary art critics love his art because of the personal touch of his work. An example of his works include Written in the Stars, in which a caricature owner and his puppy look up at the sky, as if they are making a promise on their lives. Declare Your Love shows the emotion of a person that cannot contain his love and is fully offering it to someone. Emotions that blend in the colour tones of pastels became a calling card of Doug Hyde’s art.
They have different approaches when it comes to painting but it is their diversity that made them popular in the contemporary art scene and their contributions to art deserve to be acclaimed.
