SHROPSHIRE BY THE SEA – an exhibition by Rob Corfield

In 2004 Wales was missed off a map used by European Union statisticians on the front cover of their official annual yearbook. The map of Europe showed England and Scotland in the correct position but between the Welsh border and Ireland there is nothing but the Irish Sea.

The event is celebrated by the The Men from Off (a local group of fairly close harmony singers!) with the song ‘Bishops Castle on Sea’ a tale of how the border town may be affected by having a coastline.

This exhibition adds to that mythology by imagining what that coast line might look like. It draws together a collection of paintings influenced by the landscape of the Welsh Borders and the coast lines of West Sussex and East Lothian.  

Rob Corfield is a landscape painter  working mainly in acrylics on hardboard and canvas. His paintings are  large, bold and colourful and inspired by the sea and countryside. Although currently resident on the south coast  Rob regularly travels to Shropshire and East Lothian to  visit family and paint. The subjects usually  reflect his love of mountain biking, sailing and being outdoors. 

Paintings by Rob can be seen on his website at www.artybodger.com and he regularly posts work on instagram as artybodger.
