The Story
Size:44 x 44 in.
Michael F. Rumsby’s Across the Pool (39" x 39") is a mesmerising fusion of colour, texture, and light, capturing the essence of a sun-drenched European retreat. The ornate golden balcony railing in the foreground provides a delicate contrast to the vibrant blues of the pool and sky beyond, while the lush foliage, depicted in a flurry of circular brushstrokes, exudes an almost dreamlike quality. The layered application of paint and mixed media creates a rich tapestry of movement and depth, inviting the viewer into a world of warmth and serenity.
Rumsby, based in the charming village of Saussignac in Southwest France, draws much of his inspiration from the landscapes and interiors that surround him. A keen traveller, he immerses himself in varying light conditions and diverse scenery, collecting impressions to bring back to his studio. His work is characterised by a bold use of colour and dynamic textures, employing acrylic, oil, charcoal, pastels, and ink to build intricate, expressive compositions.
Each piece is a celebration of light and life, offering a glimpse into his vibrant artistic vision. Through his evocative style, Rumsby transforms everyday moments into joyful, immersive experiences.
