About this artwork
This artwork was created from several drawing studies made on location on the North Cornwall coast during the early Spring. I was teaching workshops locally, and found time to take a coastal walk along the cliff edges that were being battered by the wind, but showered with fantastic evening light.
Wheal Coates itself is a former tin mine situated on the cliff tops between Porthtowan and St Agnes, and I did several studies in the studio but this… is the only one that made it to its final stages. I was particularly attracted to the strong, rugged structural elements, and how the contrasted with the curved coastline.

« My artworks echo my love and appreciation to the fundamental elements of painting, but also seek to resonate with the suggested beauty of place. »
Tom Voyce is an established UK painter with international exposure. His subject matter comprises of a variety of different themes such as airports, railway stations, roads and bridges and other places of transit. Voyce's compositions consistently demonstrate an interest in the formal elements of composition: structure, perspective, shape and light. His paintings are accounts of fleeting moments within a landscape; the fall of light on a building, or the shadows cast by a motorway flyover. The strength in these pieces lies not in their faithful depiction of a landscape, but in their suggestion of a sense of place, of being present within a particular space at a particular moment.
