In General

A highly distinctive, naive, fun, delightful and colourful large original oil painting,”St Ives” by renowned British artist Vincent Bennett dated 1989. Vincent Bennett drew from an eclectic mix of influences from Byzantine Art to the Silent Cinema. Cubistic and Constructivist styles also informed his style. This large original oil painting will provide a distinctive modern British art, colourful and fun focal point to any interior.

Vincent Bennett originally trained at the Plymouth School of Art in 1920s alongside James Henry Cecil Collins (1908 – 1989) MBE who was an English Painter and printmaker originally associated with the Surrealist Movement with work held in the Tate. Following a move to London in 1930 he concentrated on scenery painting and also took part in in the occasional boxing match! Two years later he returned to Plymouth – painting murals around the City as well as establishing himself as a jazz drummer! In 1945 he married Mary Hemmingway who actively encouraged and facilitated his artistic career. Later in life he devoted himself to painting full time developing his own distinctive modern British, colourful, naive and humorous style! 

We love their funky fashions – chequered pink jacket with yellow lapels and a red sash with two tone “Gatsby” brogue shoes and a pink stripey pullover with a yellow stripey scarf!
