Norman Ackroyd: Just be a Poet is at the Fine Art Society until 30
November 2016.
Norman Ackroyd has devoted a lifetime to the making of subtle and
beautiful watercolours and prints – especially, aquatints – of the coastal
landscape of the British Isles. He is drawn particularly to islands, from the
Scillies to the northernmost point of the British Isles – Muckle Flugga on
Shetland; he works out in all weathers, sometimes in a boat, making pictures of
sea, rocks, birds, sky and light. The prints are made in his studio in Bermondsey.
Listen to an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row (starts at 5'30"); watch a BBC film
about him (NB the sound is missing at the very beginning); download a copy of
the exhibition catalogue from the Fine Art Society.
