Artist Statement:
Harry Vince Coulter's
extraordinary landscape
paintings ... shimmer with an
intensity hard to miss among
the muted cautious colours of
much contemporary Irish
landscape painting. Vince
Coulter is English in
background, a former habitue
of Cornish coasts, London art
schools and the fervid world
of 60s cultural politics: but
these swirling, shifting,
exuberant creations could, in
his own view, have sprung only
from the spiritual geography
of Ireland. (His) depictions
of English landscape have a
harder, sharper edge to them,
as befits what he sees as a
more static scenario; these
Irish landscapes, by contrast,
are all about flux, dyanism,
deliquescence, as jagged coast
and solid rock are recomposed
in the more merging, soluble
media of water and air.
This is not a question of
'abstraction'. If Vince
Coulter is a modernist, he is
one only in a generous,
non-doctrinaire sense of the
term. Indeed, these fractured,
pulsating paintings are, in
his own opinion, perfectly
realist. These are real places
he has lived among, but ones
which have been decomposed and
reassembled according to an
imaginative rather than
material logic. actual space
plays a part in these
marvellous reinventions, but
it is space which has been
wrenched apart and ...
