The Tight-rope Walker and the Sea

Print description

This print shows a tight-rope walker that has secured a rope between two metal columns of the West Pier and is balancing on it. The structure that appears on the horizon are the remains of the West Pier. The West Pier was a Victorian leisure pier built in 1866, today only its metal structure remains.

Beach Art

This print belongs to the series of works I have created under the name ‘Beach Art’. This series celebrates people happily spending their leisure time at the beach. Swimmers, divers, paddleboarders and the occasional  tight-rope walker. Shimmering seas and bright sunny skies bathe with light these characters. The designs have a hint of nostalgia and in my own distinctive style echoes the works of artists such as Robert Tavener and the New Romantic British artists John Minton and Keith Vaughan. The West Pier appears in all the prints in the series. I created this series in April 2021 to mark the start of my art residency with the West Pier Trust.
