He Always Gets More Than Me

He Always Gets More Than Me

This captures a charming coastal scene, featuring a group of figures enjoying time by the water. The depiction shows children and adults gathered around an ice cream van, while boats bob gently in the background. The monochromatic palette, accented with subtle hints of colour, contributes to a nostalgic atmosphere.

Whimsical Coastal Gathering

Set against a picturesque harbour, the scene conveys joy and connection among families and friends. You can almost hear the cheerful laughter as kids relish their ice cream delights. The attention to detail, from the expressions to the textures of the boats, invites viewers to immerse themselves in the moment.

Artistic Narrative

This limited edition print encapsulates simpler times, evoking memories of sunny days spent by the sea. The artist’s unique style combines realism with a playful charm, making it a delightful addition to any space.

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.
