Rowland Hilder: The Working Artist
An eclectic selection of fine art by leading advocate of English landscapes in winter and distinguished artist - Rowland Hilder OBE.
Curated by Rowland Hilder aficionado Nettie Iles, the exhibition “strives to expose the side of Hilder that, for many, is unexplored."
One of the highlights of the exhibition is the reconstruction of part of Hilder’s studio – visitors can capture the inspiring atmosphere of his studio and what it meant to him
his painting desk aside the massive French door window that led to the garden – with the rolling clouds above London providing an ever changing inspiration for his landscapes, with, mostly sonorous tones of Wagner accompanying his painting day.
Also on show is a selection of work from other talented Hilders
Edith, his wife, so skilled at her botanical watercolours
his son Anthony, another gifted marine painter (who has always painted under the name of Flemming, not wanting to piggy-back on his father’s reputation)
Heather and Rado, his daughter and son-in-law, both of whom Rowland influenced with generous pointers in painting technique
and grandson Will, a talented contemporary artist, who mainly shows now in Thailand. All in all, a creative dynasty.
