'Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures'. Henry Ward Beecher Roy Gaston's homeland environment on ‘Fisher’s Lane’ in Ballymena ignited a passion for painting as a means of expressing an appreciation of the natural world, and evolving to become the subject of a lifetime’s work. His paintings are infused by an intuitive response to experiences acquired over a lifetime of observation and appreciation of the natural world. Through whichever medium chosen, his work allows the viewer access to a moment in time, expanded for infinity, to glimpse that which is rarely seen. Whether it be a watchful wagtail on the Causeway’s rocks rendered so eloquently it belies the very fickleness of its medium, or the freedom of a falcon on Fair Head, there remains no question that each have been executed by a hand so masterful of its craft, it defies belief. |
