A Nostalgic Ice Cream Treat
This charming artwork captures a nostalgic scene of children eagerly awaiting an ice cream van. The vibrant colours of the van contrast beautifully with the predominantly monochrome palette. As a result, it’s a captivating image.
A Simple Pleasure
The children’s faces express pure delight and anticipation. Meanwhile, adults carry on with their chores, a familiar yet heartwarming scene from the past. In other words, it’s a celebration of simple childhood joys.
A Masterful Composition
Leigh Lambert’s attention to detail is exquisite. The brickwork of the houses, the clothes on the washing line—every element is rendered with precision. Consequently, the scene feels authentic and truly evocative of a bygone era.
A Framed Moment in Time
Presented in a frame that complements its vintage charm, this artwork is more than just a picture; it’s a delightful piece of nostalgic art. Ultimately, it’s an engaging piece of art.
Leigh Lambert
Leigh was born and raised in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, where he resided for the first twenty years of his life. Lambert began to draw as soon as he could hold a pencil, with his family quickly recognising his artistic flair. As he progressed through school his exceptionally detailed creations captured the attentions of his teachers, who admired his canny knack for capturing a view. However, the artist describes himself as mostly self-taught, having received no formal art qualifications or training.
Lambert relocated to Warwickshire with his family in 1996, where he focused on the development of his technique. It was on leaving Newcastle that he began to appreciate the nature of his upbringing; what he had once seen as a concrete jungle now seeming strangely beautiful. Taking inspiration from his childhood, Lamberts pieces have a strong sense of nostalgia, evoking fond memories of a youth that many can relate to.
Lambert is an accomplished artist across a range of media, most commonly working in oils on board. His use of colour is minimal, optimistically applying splashes only to the figures that play amidst the otherwise monochromatic landscapes, capturing the joy and vitality of youth.
Working from his garden studio, the artist has achieved great success in recent years. In 2014 he was shortlisted as Best Up and Coming Artist in the prestigious Fine Art Trade Guild Awards, and consequently his works are hugely sough-after. Limited editions often sell out within weeks, and waiting lists are in place for those hoping to acquire original paintings.
