Coulson will be at

Washington Green. Through his work he seeks to bring forth the natural beauty and meaning of the simple things around us.
Speaking ahead of his appearance in Oxford, Lawrence Coulson said: “The idea behind my latest paintings was to encapsulate all that I have become as an artist over the last 20 years, highlighting subject matter, technique and palette.
“It is a celebration of a journey that has had high and low points, has taken me to amazing locations and introduced me to some lovely people. It is a celebration of the beautiful world around us. It is a celebration of art. It is a celebration of life.”
Aimee Scott, gallery manager at Castle Fine Art, Oxford, said: “We are very excited to welcome Lawrence to the gallery to reveal his new collection and celebrate his fantastic career to date.
“The detail in Lawrence’s paintings coupled with the way he plays with light and shadow is fascinating, and his use of contrast and detail really do bring his works to new heights.”
