Artist: Geoffrey Huband Title: Avenger Image Size: 20" x 13 3/8 " Edition:Artist Hand Signed and Numbered Limited Edition to 300 Medium: Fine Art Archival Lithograph on Paper About the Artist: English artist GEOFFREY HUBAND was born in Worcestershire in 1945, and studied at Stourbridge College of Art and Victoria College, Manchester University. As a student in the 1960’s, he came to admire painters of the Newlyn School, who depicted day-to-day subjects in the fishing villages of Cornwell, as well as Montagu Dawson for his “style and directness.” Teaching after graduating, he moved to Cornwall in 1970 to paint full-time, finding inspiration in the area’s rugged, maritime beauty. Depicting naval scenes from the Age of Sail and the Second World War, as well as the seascapes and maritime communities of far southwest England, Huband states of his work:
"Visually I am intrigued by the abstracted qualities of maritime painting. The solidity of hulls, the apparent delicacy of masts and spars, the fragile beauty of sails billowing or revealing the form of the masts as they are blown aback. I enjoy the ordered tracery of rigging seen as a bold statement against the bright sky. My interest in maritime painting is excited as much by the physical appearance of ships as it is by the romance that time and history have endowed upon the subject. I am interested in ships for their beauty as well as for their functional qualities, and I am fascinated by the ingenuity that has been displayed in their construction and development since earliest times. The focus of my interest centers between 1700-1800, a period I regard as the peak of achievement in the combination of function and beauty in ships as well as architecture."
Huband is most well known for his cover art on the naval historical novel series by Douglas Reeman and Alexander Kent.
