Halliday's work has a dream like quality, a moodiness that seems to speak of
the very nature of nature. They are a way of communicating and expressing the
brooding sensibilities that are brought on by experiencing the views at
first-hand. In some cases this traditional inspiration for landscape painting
has been combined with a more contemporary approach to media. It is both the
overall aesthetics of an image and the emotional impact that influence him in
choosing the subject and the medium. Painterly qualities of an image are
important whilst retaining a descriptive influence. Born in Cumbria in 1964, Halliday moved to London in his twenties. Now firmly established in the London art scene Colin and his family moved to Derbyshire in 2005 and as a result the landscape now dominates his work, and with his romantic inclinations the work coming out of his studio is breathtakingly beautiful. |
