CHRIS TATE AT CHRISTMAS


Christopher Tate is back!
He has featured in all nine of the Lander's Christmas Shows in Lemon Street Market. He has given us some characteristic inks of Falmouth but also for the first time he has been painting with acrylic on canvas. The paintings are unmistakeably Tate!
His vibrant colours look bright, bold and fresh in a series of paintings of buildings from the mining heritage of Cornwall. There are portraits of Wheal Coates at St Agnes- and my personal favourite is this dramatic depiction of South Crofty which stands proud and busy, yet seems to be fading away as you look at it.
Chris is doing so well!
The Falmouth pictures are smaller, and are priced at £950, while the acrylics of the mine engine houses are variously priced around £1,100.
