Joe Dias – Cumbrian Landscape Artist
“I am interested in all aspects of Cumbrian life and industry. One area of exploration is the Vickers ship building yard at Barrow-in-Furness. These paintings explore the life and issues arising from the Trident class submarines.
Before ship building at Barrow, airships were built and used to patrol the coast looking for enemy submarines during the First world War. His Majesty’s Airship 4 had some hair-raising incidents in its life but mainly when it was trying to dock.”
“Cumberland wrestling is usually performed on grass at country fairs, but by leaving out the Lake District backdrop the eye is forced to concentrate on the action of the contestants and their traditional embroidered costumes.
The other figures I paint, are often participants of Cumberland shows or local athletics.”
“Boxing objects together- positioning them into a narrative of sorts is very satisfying. These boxes tell stories and hold memories of people, places and times. Some have information about incidents and ideas.
Initially I studied sculpture on my fine art degree, later moving on to printmaking; now I seem to paint most of the time but my ‘Old Self’ is obviously still apparent in three dimensions.”
All of these works are available as Giclee digital prints, our largest standard image size is 550 x 400 mm. Individual prints can be customised to your required dimensions.
