Renos Lavithis
RENOS LAVITHIS
Artist – Painter – Designer
Renos is a well established artist using mainly oils. He also works with watercolours and with drawings. His images are contemporary and figurative with compositions that reflect shapes, forms and colours showing his love of nature and beauty.
He studied Graphic Design, Art and Typography at Ealing School of Art and London College of Printing followed by intensive workshops in general art and figurative drawing. For 30 years he worked with Associated Newspapers and mostly with the Daily Mail as retouching and general artist and recently retired to concentrate on his art.
He exhibits regularly with his own work, with small groups of artists and takes part in many local activities and art exhibitions. He has been an active member of HVAF for many years and produced the Newsletter before it went electronic.
His recent work is divided into three main categories, reflecting his moods, interests and life.
FLEET STREET AND THE LONDON PROJECT
This started in 2009 by drawing the famous pubs and landmarks of Fleet Street and has now extended into a major project covering the old areas of The Print, The Middle Temple, St Paul's, the River and The City....and who knows where it will end in Renos' London.
Here the artist works mainly with drawings of combined inks-pencils-colour wash on thick watercolour paper, a new and popular style for the artist.
Many of the works will be reproduced as limited editions, stretched canvas, cards, calendars....
BOATS AND THE SEA
Being part of Renos' long love of the Sea since childhood, he continues to explore it with the Boats, the Aegean Blue and the silvery greys of the British coasts..
LANDSCAPES-TOWNSCAPES-GENERAL THEMES
Nature provides so much to be enjoyed and admired, whether it is in valleys, rivers, lakes, mountains, towns and structures, trees and plants and human activities, events and situations. Renos explores and paints everything that provides enjoyment, relaxation and expresses a point.
