I’m keen
to document other artists that explore the so-called ‘edgelands’ landscape, and
so I’m going to start an ongoing series of occasional posts on the blog.
These
paintings, above and below, are by well- known local West Midlands painter,
Robert Perry, RBSA. He works entirely on location from his transit van which
doubles as his studio, and as well as his scenes of his native Black Country,
Rob regularly traveIs in it across Europe to paint and draw the battlefields of
France and the mountains of Spain and Italy. I’ve been priviledged to have a
look around this legendary van, and it is quite a spartan affair considering he
travels for thousnads of miles sleeping as well as working in it. These
panoramic views of Dudley and the Black Country seem a good place to start this
occasional series….
