Helen Tabor (b.1960) - Excellent 20th Century Mixed Media Highland Cattle

Description

A large 20th century oil by the well listed artist Helen Tabor, depicting an atmospheric Scottish landscape with cattle. Tabor has built up layers of paint over a background of collage, which has given the painting a textured, patterned effect. The combination of bold brushstrokes, dark and light tones, and texturing accurately portrays the rugged nature of the landscape and the darker, wetter and more misty environment of the Scottish highlands. The painting has been signed to the lower right corner, and is well presented in a white frame. Signed. On canvas on stretchers.

Artist Biography

Helen Tabor has lived in the Scottish Borders for the past fifteen years with her partner and three children. Her paintings are very much inspired by her surroundings, in particular the rural Scottish Borders countryside, and the soft seascapes of south west Scotland.

Born in Middlesex in 1960, Helen Tabor graduated with English and History at the University of York in 1981. A self-taught artist, Tabor drew her inspiration from Chagall and Picasso. Since 1986, she has successfully exhibited in numerous galleries both North and South of the border, including RSA and SAAC Royal Academy in Edinburgh. Helen’s work can be found in private collections both here and abroad.
