Stephen Jowitt
Brighton, East Sussex
Acrylic Landscape Artist inspired by the Downs and the coastline
I am an architect and started trying to paint about 6 years ago when I moved to Brighton from London. I was very much inspired by the South Downs and the coastline around Brighton.
I use acrylics and have taught myself by trial and error. I am currently trying to teach myself to paint using watercolours.

Let the stress of the day disappear.
While seagulls float on the gentle breeze
Find peaceful solitude here.

I went to sea at 15 with the Royal Navy and came ashore again 12 years later having experienced typhoons in the Pacific, hurricanes in the Atlantic, the deep freeze of the Arctic and monsoons of the tropics; but such beauty everywhere.
Then after 3 years in commerce which was illuminating but boring, I became a Financial Adviser for the next 47 years, which on balance I found wonderfully fulfilling.
Even after all that time, salt water still flows through my veins but I love the dry land and all its surprises too.
I have had no formal training but had been painting in water colour on and off for about twenty years. After trying acrylics in about 2015 the bug bit: I had to become a painter!
Each of the prints of my original paintings comes with a thought provoking four line verse, written by Diane Cooke who has taught and inspired KS2 children for many years, with a special interest in developing their creative writing skills.
Limited Edition
Each print is Limited Edition and comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist.

‘The Boxer’ – Contemporary Sculpture
On show at the Rossocinabro Gallery, Rome
At the Monat Gallery Madrid from May
Some I can appreciate feel boxing is a barbaric contest, however when contested at a high level the power movement and skill can take this sport into an art form. I extended the left arm and sculpted it artificially longer than it would be naturally to emphasis the jab! The pose is defensive but is still suggestive of victory in the making! Those who are following my work will notice that I rarely sculpt the feet in detail. My preference is to depict the legs suggestive of tree limbs and trunks help the composition remain tight. Cast by The Milwyn Foundry in London with the final patination with rich gold highlights against the darkness of the undulating forms of the body.
