Over the last year David Humphreys has continued his travels around the coast line of Great Britain. His forthcoming exhibition explores many of his favourite places in Pembrokeshire Cornwall and the Hebrides.

With a Scottish mother and Welsh father Humphreys is drawn to both these countries. He was evacuated to Wales as a child and it still holds an emotional pull over him through both personal association and its layers of myth, history and legends. In the Hebrides he responds more to the purity and geography of the islands, the vast sweeps of deserted beaches running into sheltered coves, the ancient hills swathed in mist, the bare rocks, course grasses, and the white washed stone cottages hugging the shore or nestled in a dip of farmland.

The paintings heighten our perceptions of these beautiful places. With his luminous but restrained palette, his feeling for rhythm, pattern and form, Humphreys celebrates the land as the life force. "If we lose it what else is left?", he says "It is the place where every thing relates and belongs".
