This, as a statement, sounds pretty straightforward. However, Porter has created a unique voice in dealing with this very English subject-matter. His paintings describe the physical boldness of the landscape combined with the delicate flora and fauna found within it. The forthcoming exhibition at Purdy Hicks Gallery reiterates his position as one of this country’s leading contemporary landscape painters, using what is usually seen as the familiar and reinterpreting it with a creative freshness allowing the viewer to see the landscape from a new perspective.
