Lighthouse on the Cliffs

Mabyn Trewhella · linocut print

This striking linocut print depicts a lighthouse perched on dramatic cliffs overlooking the sea. The composition is bold, with sweeping lines and sharp contrasts between the dark cliffs and the lighter sky. Seabirds glide through the air, adding a sense of movement to the scene. The palette is limited yet effective, using deep blues, ochres, and hints of orange to convey a coastal atmosphere.
The artwork captures the rugged beauty of a coastal landscape, focusing on a lighthouse that stands sentinel on the edge of steep cliffs. The use of linocut as a medium allows for strong, clean lines and stark contrasts, enhancing the dramatic impact of the scene. The limited color palette, dominated by deep blues and ochres, is punctuated by vibrant orange in the sky, suggesting either dawn or dusk. This choice of colors evokes the changing moods of the coast. The composition is dynamic, with the lighthouse and cliffs forming a diagonal that draws the eye across the print. Seabirds in flight add a lively element, suggesting the constant motion of nature against the stillness of the man-made structure. The work reflects a deep appreciation for the natural and architectural elements of the Cornish coastline, capturing its essence with both simplicity and depth.
