Steve Slimm
Steve is from the Black Country
in West Midlands. He later lived in the Cotswolds and attended Cheltenham
Grammar School. Moving to Cornwall in 1970, he joined an art group
under John Miller for a brief period. Painting began to feature
as a main interest in his life, with periodic encouragement from
John through two decades. Turner was an obvious influence during
the early years. Many atmospheric watercolours found their way into
collections worldwide. The Land remains the prime inspiration for
his work, although the human form tends to creep in regularly, albeit
often subliminally. His work is now far from realism, with an emotional
intensity that is self-evident. His shows are always colourful,
with most pieces hallmarked by a deep sense of mystery.
