Bryan Wynter began his career as a landscape painter and always stressed that his later, non-representational work was closely linked to nature. Titles such as 'Deep Current' and 'Source' reveal his desire to penetrate beyond surface appearances. Here, 'Forest Journey' infers the progress of the viewer through a landscape and the dynamic, explosive marks suggest a bursting out of darkness into the sun. Wynter settled in Zennor in 1945 and by the end of the 1950s was regarded as one of this country's leading abstract painters.
