The Landscape Painting Tradition is one that goes back to the 17th century Dutch painters, and onto the Romantic painters such as JMW Turner, John Constable, and Casper David Friedrich. Then the tradition was uprooted by the Impressionists, including, Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, and Vincent Van Gogh. Then, more recently, artist such as Gerhard Richter, Peter Doig, and David Hockney and presented a fresh, contemporary insight into how artists see the landscape.

Why does an artwork speak to you? Explore your own emotional journey, reflecting on your own experiences. See where your own feelings are reflected in the paintings, and where that takes you.

Explore the emotions that are waiting to be released within you, in a way that only art can do.

Kit’s Cinematic Landscape exhibition delves into the dualities of peace & turmoil, as seen from both a child’s and adult’s sense of wonder. We invite you into a time-less world of natural theatre that we can experience both for its beauty & emotional power. Each painting peels back layers of memory, revealing quiet moments of vulnerability, mystery, and delight. From delicate, subtle transitions of light & shade, to broad, expressive brushwork, these paintings reflect the full range of human experience that nature evokes within us.

Nature is really the mother of us all. Let’s discover our deepest connection with her.

WHO IS KIT GLAISYER?

I am an oil painter born in Dorset, and currently based in the West Country, UK. My journey started with the guidance of artistically gifted parents, followed by Art College in Bournemouth and Farnham. Then five years as a successful Abstract painter in London, exhibiting at the Suzanne Ruggles Gallery on the Kings Road in Chelsea. I’ve twice won ‘Highly Commended’ at the Marshwood Arts Awards, exhibited as Dorset Magazine Landscape Painter of the Year, and I was a Finalist in the Holburne Painting Prize. My work is held in private collections around the world, and I now have my own Gallery exclusively devoted to my deeply emotionally expressive paintings.

Painting Techniques

In my paintings, I use all manner of techniques: glazing, gradations of colour, drawing, and composition, as well as expressive brush work, impasto, and abstract mark-making. Beneath this surface lies a silent narrative: an exploration of our relationship with the elements and the seasons, of intangible childhood memories, and adult romances, the emotional complexities of our very existence. My background growing up in the bosom of nature, without television, computer, or smartphone, gives me a unique lens through which I can examine these themes, blending my imagination with a vivid experience of the private moments that we can share through art.

My Journey to Landscape Painting

Growing up in rural North-Dorset, the countryside quickly became my playground and teacher, and I began to express my insights into nature through painting ‘en plein air’. This then led to Art College, then a move to London, where I became an Abstract painter. But it was only on my return to West Dorset that I once again connected with my love of the countryside and to my unique gift of insight & communication from the theatre of the landscape, through my art.

The air is still damp from the rainstorm... on this warm October afternoon... the setting sun casting long shadows across the fields before us... illuminating distant trees and the hills beyond...

...jagged stones & crisp fallen leaves cover the ground beneath our feet... rough bark on the trees... the smell of autumn in the air... the glowing orange hills beckon to us.. walking through our green shade.

..standing here with the wind in our hair... dazzling sunlight suddenly breaks through the clouds... throwing the shadows from the fields... as the landscape stretches out before us...
