Michael Cadman RI ARCA - Original Contemporary Watercolour. With touches of gouache. Unsigned. In fine condition.From a collection of watercolours by Michael Lawrence Cadman (1920-2010). Born in Epsom, Surrey, Cadman studied at Wimbledon School of Art, taking examinations there in drawing and painting, before studying for the ARCA Diploma in Painting at the Royal College of Art where in 1943 he won an award for architecture and another for landscape painting. In 1947, he took up a post as Lecturer in Fine Art at Epsom School of Art, and in that year he also had his first painting in the Royal Academy summer show, continuing to exhibit there until 1967. Over time, he rose to Head of Department at Epsom and he lectured in drawing at Croydon. He later lived in Cornwall, Dorset and the south of France. Michael was mainly a landscape painter with special interests in architecture and plant forms; he is best described as a rural painter. Michael unified his paintings by composing each subject of broad flat brushstrokes. The image as a whole is revolved through restrained suggestions of form, generating a strong sense of atmosphere, while the structure of his painting is reinforced through a predominance of vertical and horizontal elements.
