Leigh Lambert Sculptures
Early Life and Artistic Beginnings
Leigh Lambert, a Newcastle-Upon-Tyne native, spent his first twenty years there. He began drawing as soon as he could hold a pencil. His family quickly recognized his artistic talent. His schoolteachers also admired his skill in capturing scenes.
Developing His Style
In 1996, his family moved to Warwickshire. There, he focused on refining his artistic technique. Leaving Newcastle gave him a new perspective. He now saw the city’s beauty, contrasting with his earlier view. His art draws inspiration from his and his father’s childhoods. This creates a nostalgic feel, resonating with many viewers.
Artistic Medium and Approach
Lambert primarily works in pencil, watercolour, and oil on board, creating art from his garden studio. His colour palette is minimal. He uses vibrant splashes only on figures within mostly monochromatic landscapes. This highlights the joy of youth.
Success and Future
Lambert has achieved significant success. His limited-edition prints and original art sell out rapidly. He even has a waiting list for commissions. Consequently, he’s thrilled to join Andrew and Kathryn. This new gallery space marks a significant career milestone. Moreover, it showcases the largest collection of his work. He eagerly anticipates meeting visitors at upcoming events.
