Harry Ousey (1915-1985) was an artist who immersed himself in his favourite subject, the landscape. He believed that only in the abstract could the various effects of landscape be fully expressed and his work shows a real passion for everything to do with the natural world.

Ousey saw his paintings not only as experiments with a given medium but as memories containing those elements of nature that the mind exaggerates and retains. They are full of the richness of nature – from sombre shadows across deepening folds of hills to an unexpected light on a thin stream.

Ousey, who worked in Cornwall during the 1950s, produced an astonishing body of work and this exhibition will reveal him to be one of Britain’s hidden masters of twentieth century art.
