Provenance
'Having visions of different appearances to the foreground trees adds a luxurious garden style with the background becoming more open / wild with olive plantations and my idiosyncratic styled mountains. The sky and sun was the final part, completing the threatening approaching storm followed by a (possible) human made structure, appearing as the sun which gives us a taste of things to come if we ever get around to controlling other worlds and stars.'Guy Watts, Winter 2025
Guy Watts is a self-taught pen and ink artist, known for his intricate and imaginative drawings. His work is deeply inspired by nature and the outdoors, while other pieces explore themes of meditation, yoga, and spatial design, often evoking a sense of vast, unfathomable scale. Each A4 piece is meticulously crafted, taking between 150 to 300 hours to complete, drawn directly onto paper with pen and ink.
His artistic journey began unexpectedly at the age of 27 when he purchased his first pair of glasses and discovered a newfound clarity in his vision. With a background in geology, he honed his precision and attention to detail while working on oil rigs in the 1990s, using fine Rotring pens to create geological maps. In 2006, he made the bold decision to leave the rigs and dedicate himself entirely to his art. Now based in Somerset, he continues to bring his intricate visions to life, capturing the wonders of both the natural and the imagined world.
