Biography

�  Stephen Robson joined greenwich printmakers in 2010. He went on to Goldsmiths college and has a background in teaching and working in Photography. He is strongly drawn to the work of artists such as Samuel Palmer, Edward Hopper and Paul Nash. The thames estuary and the coast of Norfolk and Suffolk have been favourite subjects.

Steve Edwards

�  I like the three chosen images as I believe each image shows a different mood from a lighter blue showing happiness to a dark grey portraying anger .The colour aspect of these images has a connection to my work as within my prints I for example applied more or less ink in order to create different moods.

Structural

�  Layout/Composition- All three of his images are similarly laid out with a city scape at the bottom with a large sky. Also in every image a lot of negative space is used above the horizon, simply using a few paint scrapes to create different effects. Also the horizon line is low which may show a somewhat unrealistic feel.

Cultural

�  Time periods that may have influenced his work I believe is modern day as the city scape with the london eye clearly contains fairly new buildings and structures.

Stephen Robson

Steven Robson

�  I like my three chosen images as I think within them that simplicity is the key as it really helps show different moods without containing complex images or drawing.

Structural

�  Composition/Layout- Steven uses a lot of negative space with in his images I think this shows a sense of peace and happiness within the simple image of the sea with a solid blue sky. However the images are often laid very similar being of the sea with a fairly simple sky.

Cultural Edward Hopper influenced Steven within his work in many cases. The connection between there work is noticed within the composition and layout of there images for example the use of; low horizon lines and negative space. However Paul Nash creates a very different image that connects to Stephens work with the use of pastel colours. Samuel palmers connection To Stephen may be again the use of dark dull colours or may contrast to Stephans with the use of a high horizon rather than low .

My work

�  The connection between my work and the artists spoke about is mainly the idea of printing, however my image like Steven Robsons contains a sea scape. I also varied the amount of ink used in order to create different moods depending on the darkness of the sky in each.
