Alasdair Lindsay
Although born in Cheshire, Alasdair has come to regard Cornwall as his home. He came to study at Falmouth College of Art and Design in 1996 and has remained ever since, now living with his family at Hayle.
I have lived in Cornwall for twenty years, originally coming down from Chester to do a fine art degree at Falmouth College of Art.
Many of my Cornish paintings study the areas where sea meets land. I am drawn to the water – surfing, sea swimming and sailing all giving new perspectives, and for me an important part of enjoying life in Cornwall. Another perspective is viewing the landscape from above; inspired when I was young by seeing Peter Lanyon’s paintings . The grid like forms of aerial landscape and long, narrative shadows have also struck a chord with my way of working. Over the last few years I have been painting the Thames from above, along with subjects closer to home.
