'Pure colour duels with the mathematical rigidity of the grid creating a sense of tension in this print created by Trevor Sutton at The Print Studio, Cambridge.
Sutton’s inspiration was Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway which he visited for the first time in 2011. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the grandeur of the naturally tessellated basalt columns had a profound effect upon the artist.
Sutton is a multiple award-winner and exhibits internationally. His works feature in many renowned collections, including those of the Arts Council, the British Council and the Tate Gallery.'
Born in Essex in 1948, Trevor Sutton studied at Hornsey College of Art, and at Birmingham Polytechnic. He’s been a fellow at both Chelsea College of Art & Design, London (2000-2003), and the Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ireland (2001).
Sutton’s recent solo exhibitions include: ‘Time of Day’, Eagle Gallery EMH Arts, London (2015); ‘Interior Landscape’, Galerie allerArt, Bludenz, Austria (2013); ‘Paradise Circus’, Flowers, London (2010); and ‘Trevor Sutton – Paintings, Another Function’, Tokyo (2010).
