Antony Bridge

Antony J. Bridge was born in 1980. He is a self taught artist based in the centre of the UK. Growing up in Malvern in an area of outstanding natural beauty, he began to understand the peace, power and solitude of the landscape and has been inspired ever since. Antony doesn't only paint 'good light' scenes, he always just gets out there in all weathers, rainy, grey, bright or misty and finds a location inspiring to paint, sets up either his french easel or pochade box and gets to work with his oil paints.
Antony's work is now praised, and collected, by many prominent art enthusiasts from around the world from Monaco, South Africa, New York and New Zealand.
He has won places at renowned shows such as the Bath Prize 2010 and on 2 occasions the Royal Western Academy annual show.
Plein air painting allows Antony to combine his two main passions for art and nature. He can't think of a better way to spend a day than being out amongst the elements, trying to capture that special "something" about a place or time. Throughout his years of painting so far the thing he has learnt the most is; “it’s not learning how to paint, it’s learning how to see”.
His biggest influences would be the French Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet, Cezanne, Manet and also Sargent for his use of oils. Contemporary artists he admires include Neil Pinkett, Trevor Chamberlain and Jian Wang among others.
