Val Pitchford


 Val Pitchford
Adventures in Paint

On Wenlock Edge  28x40"  Original Oil on Canvas  £2200  (Prices start from £325)

`Exactitude is not the truth'  Delacroix
These five thought provoking words encapsulate perfectly many of Val Pitchford's thoughts and aspirations as a painter and the forthcoming exhibition of her recent work demonstrates many aspects of her approach to the canvas.


Small jewel like works contrast with abstract and majestic landscapes. She sees each new painting as an adventure, exploring the use of paint and colour within the composition, creating a sense of immediacy and freshness. The ultimate hope is to give pleasure to the viewer, maybe taking them down a previously unknown path.

Val comments: “The new waiting canvas is an adventure. It becomes our fickle guide, promising much, withholding much, and perhaps finally revealing a little.”

Val works full time in her studio in the shadow of the Malvern Hills. Visitors are welcome by appointment. Please enquire for details from Artifex.

This selling exhibition runs from 31st May to the end of July.
Open daily 10am – 5pm.
