Postcard from Anglesey: Anthony Garratt

Anthony Garratt, Black Point Toll, 2015 (The view to Puffin Island from Penmon)

A recent flying visit to Anglesey was enlivened by the discovery of Anthony Garratt’s installation of landscape paintings in the landscape itself. Four such works have been positioned around the coast facing north, south, east and west (see here for precise locations). The paintings were executed on site and mounted onto robust steel structures. They have been in place since March and will remain, exposed to the elements, until October. (The contributions of seagulls were, in places, hard to distinguish from the artist’s gestural splatters.) 
I got to see 3 of the works (south, east and west) and rather enjoyed the experience.

I didn't get to see the fourth picture, the view to the north from Lligwy towards Ynas Dulas. The photograph below is by Richard Broomhall.
