About the Business
Stephen Bishop is a passionate artist who has been living and painting in Dorset since 1989. His works have been collected by Royal Academician Sir Anthony Caro OBE and distinguished painter Lady Sheila Girling as well as the BBC Antiques Roadshow presenter Paul Atterbury. Stephen Bishop is available for gallery representation in the UK and Internationally.
Stepping through the doors into the cool interior of Eype church, the colours and vibrancy of Stephen Bishop's artwork assails the senses. Richly textured surfaces and an array of subject matter: Dorset landscapes, Spanish villages, realistic and abstract compositions, strange figures staring out, seemingly lost in time. The eye is drawn to his bright, textured Purbeck landscapes. By painting his landscapes in situ he is able to emphasize the sense of place, evoking the power of nature with the sweep of the palette knife. Adjacent to this sits a painting of a mysterious doorway, stairs leading up to a door ajar.
