Winter Solstice by Ben Lucas

The final piece from Ben Lucas’ new collection now with us at Echo Beach Gallery, and what a painting to finish on.

Winter Solstice has such presence.

A bold, dark shoreline anchors the foreground. Above it, the ocean moves in layers of turquoise and deep blue, before the whole painting opens into that sweeping, atmospheric sky.

There is drama, depth and movement in this piece — that wonderful sense of atmosphere that runs through Ben’s work.

Leaving by Ben Lucas

I have to admit, this one is my personal favourite of Ben Lucas’ new paintings.

Leaving may be the smallest painting in the collection, but it has such a powerful, calming presence. The sweeping cloud forms, deep blue tones and quiet warmth of light give it a beautifully reflective feel.

Ben’s work is not about one exact place, but about the feeling of the ocean, its movement, atmosphere, memory and emotional response.

There is something about this painting that feels calm and dramatic all at once, which is probably why I keep coming back to it. I’d love to hear what you see in it.

Leaving is framed and ready to hang, and is now available to view in the gallery and online.

A Sunday closer look at Sweeping Through by Ben Lucas

It has been a busy few days in the gallery, so we’re only just getting around to sharing a closer look at Sweeping Through by Ben Lucas.

Photographing artwork is always a little tricky, and the camera tends to make the sea appear much bluer than it is in real life. We have gently colour-corrected these images to better reflect the painting’s true turquoise tones.

Ben’s work is not about one exact place, but about the feeling of the sea - its movement, atmosphere, energy and constant change.

Sweeping Through is available to view in the gallery and online.

✨ Introducing Ben Lucas to Echo Beach Gallery ✨

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Ben Lucas to the gallery.

Ben is local to us here in North Devon, and we are especially proud that he has chosen Echo Beach Gallery as his first North Devon gallery to show and represent his work.

Ben’s paintings are full of atmosphere, movement and light - ocean-inspired, emotional and quietly powerful, without being tied to one specific place.

This is Sweeping Through, a striking original oil painting and a beautiful introduction to Ben’s work. With its sweeping sky, turquoise sea and sense of shifting energy, it is full of light, movement and the atmosphere of the ocean.

We are very excited to have Ben with us, and his paintings are going to be a wonderful addition to the gallery. We know you’re going to love his work too.

Nature put on its own gallery show over the Bristol Channel ⚡

Last night’s lightning storm rolled on for nearly two hours, lighting up the sky across the water.

We watched it dance from Ilfracombe, while Richard captured this strike towards the Welsh coastline at around 10.20pm.

Just a little bit of North Devon drama too good not to share.

Bank Holiday Monday, sunshine… and I still couldn’t resist popping into the gallery on my day off! ☀️

We’re normally closed on Mondays, but I wanted to share this beautiful painting by Mike Bernard RI, and say hello to a few lovely visitors before they head home later today.

After sharing Foreshore, South Devon, a couple of days ago, Batson, nr Salcombe, feels like the perfect pairing.

Full of Mike’s wonderful mixed media detail - boats, colour, texture and that unmistakable Devon coastal charm.

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately… but for a good reason! 🎨

Lots of beautiful new artworks have been arriving at the gallery, so social media has been slightly neglected while we’ve been busy unpacking, hanging, photographing and updating the website.

This is one of the latest pieces to land, ‘Foreshore, South Devon’ by Mike Bernard RI.

Mike is an award-winning artist and a true master of collage and mixed media painting. His work is full of texture, movement and coastal character, the kind of painting you can keep looking at and still spot something new.

More new arrivals coming over the next few days…

⛵️The Crown Fleet by Dale Bowen ⛵️

This vibrant sailing painting has now found its new home. 🌊

The Crown Fleet was chosen alongside one of our glass wave artworks for a beautiful new kitchen interior - the perfect coastal pairing.

We love imagining these pieces becoming part of someone’s everyday space. ✨
