Colin Kent RI (b. 1934) Framed Contemporary Mixed Media, Harbourside Cottages

1934 - Framed Contemporary Mixed Media, Harbourside Cottages. Subtle washes of ink and gouache have been used in conjunction with watercolour to create this atmospheric view of harbourside cottages. On first glance the composition sparks an initial sense of simplicity, but on closer inspection Kent's distinct style comes to the foreground, showcasing his skill and understanding of tone, texture, light, and shade. Signed to the lower left-hand corner.

The painting has been well presented in a silver-effect frame. Colin was born in London in 1934.

He studied painting and architecture at Walthamstow College of Art and worked for a number of years as an architect before becoming a full time artist. He was elected a member of the RI in 1971 and has regularly exhibited in the UK and USA.

All of our items come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames.

Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers.

We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way.
