Air & Water
Colin See-Paynton
Air & Water came about as a result of a conversation between Colin See-Paynton and Jon Ward-Allen and contains the complete collection of Colin’s fish and fowl engravings from 1984 to 2004. Colin See-Paynton is well known as a distinguished exponent of the art of wood engraving. His work has gained international recognition and is based on meticulous observation of the natural world. His work is entirely individualistic but one can see influences of Thomas Bewick, Charles Tunnicliffe and Agnes Miller Parker. These beautiful engravings are accompanied by angling writing chosen by Keith Harwood.
'It lies only within the gift of an artist to see what others cannot and to crystallise that vision in an image so clear that the detail is forgotten . . . As Colin See-Paynton demonstrates, a fisherman’s eye passes over more beauty in an hour than the average person will in a lifetime. In what is probably the most attractive volume Medlar has ever produced, we are treated to twenty three years of Colin’s engravings, interleaved with text from some of our most famous angling writers.' - Andrew Herd, Waterlog
