Popular contemporary painter, Lawrence Coulson, will appear at a London gallery this weekend to unveil his latest collection, Celebration, marking 20 years of his career as an artist.

Coulson will be at Castle Fine Art , Westfield Stratford on Saturday 20th July from 1pm until 3pm, when local art fans will have the opportunity to be among the first to see the new collection.

Known for his eye for detail and use of light and shadow to create contrast, Coulson has been capturing landscapes in the style of the Old Masters since 1999, when was signed by leading UK fine art publisher, Washington Green. Through his work he seeks to bring forth the natural beauty and meaning of the simple things around us.

Karren Gill, gallery manager at Castle Fine Art, Westfield Stratford, said: “We are very excited to welcome Lawrence to the gallery to reveal his new collection and celebrate his fantastic career to date. His work is timeless and has always been popular with collectors since we first exhibited it, and I have no doubt that Celebration will be just as sought after.”

Speaking ahead of his appearance in London, Lawrence Coulson said: “The idea behind my latest paintings was to encapsulate all that I have become as an artist over the last 20 years, highlighting subject matter, technique and palette.

“It is a celebration of a journey that has had high and low points, has taken me to amazing locations and introduced me to some lovely people. It is a celebration of the beautiful world around us. It is a celebration of art. It is a celebration of life.”
