Graham Sherring

I am a full-time artist, trained at Falmouth School of art. My work is basically all about the study of the Language of art. I believe that all artists use the same language no matter what their style is, it could be expressionism or it could be life drawing or hard-edge abstraction, the language used is the same, the only difference is the composition. My work is a bit like studying a dictionary before writing a book.

Always in the back of my mind is the freedom that I had when I was a child who picked up a crayon, for the first time and started to make marks on a piece of paper. It could be said that I have been trying all my life to get back to that point, but with the knowledge that I have gained over the years.

After leaving Art School and hitting the real world I soon discovered that it was not possible to make a living from my art, I did not want to be one of those poor struggling artists who believed that the world owed them a living. It was at this time that I decide to work at any job and save money in the hope that I could become self-sufficient. It was at this time that I moved to London where work was easy to come by and at the same time to be close to all the galleries that London had to offer. I had many different jobs from warehouse work, and labouring on building sites to being a crew member on a charter yacht.

Well to cut a long story short, it took me 30 years to be in a position where I could finally say that I had sufficient funds to follow my dreams, I sold my house and anything of value and moved back to Cornwall, to the town of Falmouth where I  started my art education and 15 years on I am happy to say that I am living the life of an artist.
