A Delightful C20th Vintage Oil on Oval Canvas Board depicting a Mother & Child by a Rural Cottage by the well listed & highly collectible Cornish Artist Robert Ixer. This atmospheric painting measures 12 inches x 10 inches & is beautifully framed in a fine ornate Gilt Wood & Gesso Oval Gallery Frame with overall measurements being 16 inches x 14 inches. One of a number of paintings by this artist from a Studio Sale. The painting is in good condition with no damage or losses & is signed by the artist (lower right).
Robert Ixer was born in London in 1941, studying at the South East Essex Art School and the St. Martin's School of Art. On leaving school he worked for six years in the studios of various London Advertising Agencies. From Pavement Artist to Harrods Disillusioned with the commercial world, he rejected it all and became a pavement artist outside London's National Gallery. During this period his love of painting flourished and he subsequently travelled the world, including spending some time in Canada and New Zealand. Then 3 years in Cornwall, England developing his work, which now in the main encompasses the English Countryside creating a style of a century past. Preceding his permanent move to New Zealand he lived for 10 years in Lincolnshire with his family. The Lincolnshire countryside is depicted in a number of his paintings. During this time he became one of England's leading landscape artists with various TV and press features and exhibiting in Selfridges and Harrods. A peculiarity of his work is that somewhere in every painting he incorporates a bucket, in fact some customers will not buy his work unless it contains the genuine 'Ixer' bucket.
