"My concerns centre on time, memory and personal experience of place and landscape.
In my mixed media works I explore surface, texture, colour, shape, composition and mark making, forming abstracted images through which I try to convey my experiences of being in the landscape. After sketching on site, I create the work from memory, of places which are of special significance to me. Although mainly based in Norfolk, my life and work continues to take me to parts of the African and Australian continents while my particular interest in the formation of landscape also leads me to locations which are rich in history, geology and myth. I am not interested in recording exactly what is in front of me but in somehow revealing the hidden truth lying beneath the surface, the effects of time, the elements and human activity upon the land.

My pigments are sourced from the location itself, ground and mixed with acrylic resins to achieve a variety of finishes. Layers are built up and scraped away almost like an archaeological process of excavation."

"My inspiration is from places that mean something to me, Norfolk especially. My preferred medium is oil but I love any materials that contribute to the mark making. Through this mark making I am aiming to capture space with depth and energy."

Pip Collyer has been drawing and painting for over 50 years and sculpting for more than 20 years. He particularly enjoys carving limestone and takes his inspiration from stones found on the beaches of Norfolk and Suffolk to produce smooth abstract sculptures. His recent paintings have also become more abstract and draw on fractured rock formations as well as the tangled shapes of trees and plants and the more organised shapes of buildings. During the recent pandemic he produced many small abstract “So What?” doodles and paintings on the themes of lockdown and isolation.
