East Anglian Art. Gerard Stamp, Watercolour Ely Cathedral (East Side?) Size: Image 52 x 32 cms approx Frame: 77 x 55.5 cms approx. Condition: Excellent, no issues Artists Resale Rights may apply Provenance: Grapevine Gallery, Burnham Market, Norfolk NOTE: One of the country’s finest contemporary watercolourists, Gerard Stamp’s paintings are in the Royal Collection and Norwich Castle as well as a number of private collections, including those of Dame Judi Dench and the Duke of Bedford. Gerard Stamp grew up in Norfolk, going to school in the shadow of Norwich Cathedral. Here he developed a passion for drawing and painting – and in particular Norfolk and mediaeval architecture. After Art College he followed a career in London’s design and advertising industry before focusing full time on painting in 2002. From his first solo exhibition at the Grapevine Gallery in Norwich in 2005, his work quickly attracted national attention and a year later he held his first London exhibition, with Grapevine in Cork Street. Six more solo exhibitions followed, including Marshscape, a series of large studies featuring the Norfolk coast, and Mediaeval, a celebration of church architecture. In 2009 he held an exhibition at Bonhams, New Bond Street, London. Entitled Twelve Churches, it marked The Churches Conservation Trust’s Fortieth Anniversary. In 2010 his life came full circle when he was invited to stage the inaugural exhibition for the Royal opening of the Hostry, a new Exhibition and Visitor Centre at Norwich Cathedral where he was delighted to be asked to present Her Majesty the Queen with a painting to celebrate the occasion. Subsequent exhibitions including Spirits in Stone with Grapevine in London in 2012, Conquest at Norwich Castle Art Gallery. More exhibitions with Grapevine including At the Still Point in Exeter Cathedral in 2014 and Isle of Light in Ely Cathedral, have helped cement Stamp’s reputation.
