About the artist
(This text appears on the back of the greeting card)
GLYNN THOMAS RE (b. 1946)
Glynn Thomas was born in Cambridge 1946. He studied at the Cambridge School of Art and then, for some twelve years, taught printmaking at the Ipswich School of Art. He is now a full-time artist living in Suffolk. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers and his work has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the country. Perhaps the most striking feature of his style is his impatient eagerness to embrace every feature of his subject even if this means defying visual convention. As Nicholas Butler has written, 'The perspective is cockeyed, not a few of the buildings are lying on their sides in their eagerness to be included, but there, in a single, friendly print, is the essence of the place.' In this etching of Southwold some of the beach huts have been freely rearranged, while the tiny figures on the shore-line have been turned completely upside down.
