Working and living deep in the industrial heartlands of West Yorkshire Victor Ibbotson paints what he knows. From the broad sweep of the Appalachian mountains to the arid deserts of Western Australia Victor paints those places he has never been before and never wants to go and see. This unique approach to landscape painting produces unique results. Like the dreamer he is Victor produces dreamlike landscapes which shows just what never having seen what he is painting can produce. Amazing details and artefacts which fool the eye into believing that you could actually be standing there in front of paint on canvas a truly phenomenological experience - sometimes surreal | Man in Boat Acrylic 60cm x 50cm | ![]() | ![]() | A Winter's Day Acrylic 50cm x 75cm | |||||||||||
