Artist led fine art gallery in Bude, Cornwall

Art that inspires and transforms

Teyr Fine Art is now closed

We have been extremely proud to have been able to offer high quality artwork that is a little different to the usual over the past 16 months, but this part of our journey is nearly at an end and the gallery has now closed.

We are so thankful to the local community and visitors who have given us such wonderful feedback, supported our artists by buying artwork and attended our classes and events. It's been an incredible experience and one that we will both treasure and grow from.

Natalie and Hannah will be continuing to work from their own studios and we'd love you to stay in touch - please find us on the socials: @nataliedayartist and @hannahwheelerart.

March Exhibition: These Lands of Ours

Featured Artist: Claire Gent

We are delighted to be showing a vibrant and exciting debut collection from local artist Claire Gent.

'My work is about finding joy in the familiar. My local landscape offers so much, freedom to explore, an escape from the chaos of life, delight in the breathtaking views, familiar, but never the same. There’s a little bit of inspiration every day, and I’m compelled to explore these ideas in my art. Each piece takes me on a little adventure.

An idea starts with a colour or a line, maybe trees on the horizon, or a yellow field. Landscapes that I see again and again over months and years, changing slowly. I see new forms and patterns emerge, and hints of unexpected colour. I wonder about the people that have walked the paths and worked the fields over time.

I sketch outdoors often, preferring a quick study that focuses on what I want to say. In the studio I work in series, starting with exploration, picking tools and colours intuitively, and playing with mark making and composition. After several layers, I refer back to my sketchbook and begin to make sense of what is often a chaotic riot of colour, leaving sections of the underpainting visible, a nod to the history of the land and the painting itself.

Although abstract in design and colour, if you look hard enough, you may recognise these lands of ours, known, or yet to be discovered.’
