"Michael Strang, our most successful artist is a particular favourite with the American collectors. He paints for dear life every day, illuminating his canvasses with a depth of colour and vividness that is all his own.” Bryan Forbes, film director and former owner of The Gallery, Virginia Water “Strang is a modern day Romantic, seeking to absorb and then reproduce the natural world, and in this tradition he has habitually formed fixations with certain locations, to which he has returned, again and again, capturing each place in a myriad different lights.” Alison Bevan, Director of Penlee House and Museum, Penzance “We invited Michael to continue the enthusiasm of earlier painters such as Sickert, Borlase Smart, Julian Olsson and Tony O’Malley, using as they had, Porthmeor Beach as their subject. The paintings were so energetically worked on that they were counted in their hundreds.” Michael Tooby, Curator of Tate St Ives at the time of “Porthmeor Beach: a century of images”, 1995 in which Strang showed over 50 works These paintings are available from this website from 10th January 2009.
