About this artwork
All Celtic communities retain a certain character of independence and after living here for a while, you realise that Kernow really does belong to the Cornish.
Living as an outsider can give rise to a type of solitary diffidence, not only from being alien to Cornwall’s traditions and way of life but also from its dark and rugged landscape.… It is a landscape that evokes timelessness and takes the mind from itself, leaving only the moment.
This ephemeral sense of being an outsider gives way to all the minutiae and eccentricities of everyday life, from a Pylon stood in a daisy field to a farmer standing in a modern shopping mall. The small villages huddled into cliffs, semi circling around the sea like amphitheaters, lull the mind into believing you are in another time. It is little wonder that artists for nearly a hundred years have relocated here.

« Most of my landscapes do not focus on the beauty of nature alone, but more on the fragile and sometimes crude relationship between man-made structures and the natural environment. »
Heath Hearn is a British painter, born in 1966 in Derbyshire. He studied art at the Perth College of Art and Design in Australia before returning to the UK. His current location is on the rugged coastline of Cornwall, where he has worked as ‘artist in residence’ on the Earl of Edgcumbe’s Estate for over 15 years. The Cornish landscape is fundamental to his work. Many of his paintings lie between the figurative and the abstract.
