Escape, the verb meaning to break free from confinement or control and/or a form of temporary distraction from reality or routine. For the above also read, ‘Paul Corfield; contemporary landscape artist, practising to this day’. Because if there’s one thing a habitual Corfield giclee on board (with or without slip) does, is transport the agreeable viewer to another time and place. Like an Anthony Gormley statue, yet without having to get your feet wet/sandy to enjoy.

That said, there’s a distinctly coastal theme here too, in the former artist’s brand new Spring 2016 compositional reveal, entitled (as luck would have it) ‘The Coastal Trail’. Although on this occasion a beach isn’t in the visual offing, what we do see loud and clear is a distant hint of headland and the sea beyond; which we’re led to via a winding road, lined by long shadow-casting trees and the greenest of green meadows. And invited hither by the orb-like sun which hangs above like an illustrative guiding light. Now available to snap up, this Corfield-monikered limited edition piece is expected to disappear faster than that sun at the day’s end, and beyond that distant horizon before you can say……..(insert your own word here).
