Waves combines Bryan Wynter's passion for abstraction with his love for the sea and is completed on a large scale. Following the war in 1945 the artist had moved to Zennor, near St Ives, becoming a near neighbour of Patrick Heron and in the process meeting some of the leading artists of the day. Striving to reconcile nature and the human spirit, Wynter would continue to paint water throughout his career leading to the bold and psychedelic colours used to express its meandering in the mid-1960s.
