Mineralogy and the impact that mining and quarrying has had on the landscape of South West England is a primary point of reference in his painting, but the overriding concern is the exploration of colour and texture on the picture plane, with no attempt at figurative representation. His work is held in The Box, Plymouth, the Royal Institution of Cornwall, the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital Trust, the University of Sheffield Heritage Collection and in numerous private collections, UK and worldwide. www.larcann.co.uk |
