Alby Carter

Inspired by his surroundings of mountain, sea, farm and forest, Alby captures the mood of his environment in his fast-brushed style. Reality is merely his starting point with the aim to make his landscapes ‘painterly’.

‘If you paint reality perfectly, you aren’t doing the artist’s job because the art has to tell you something about what the artist feels about what they are painting.’

Alby describes his state of mind when painting as, ‘a blank. It’s more about feeling it than thinking it.’
