Colin Bailey is a British artist and printmaker living and working in Hastings, East Sussex after living in Rye for ten years and Kings Cross, London for fifteen years.
A fine art oil painter and etcher with a love of traditional painting and printmaking methods, techniques and skills, and with a printmaker's instinct for multiple images, Colin also embraces modern fine art technology and uses digital photography to capture pictures and views and scenes that he translates into iconic paintings and etchings of the local area. Using fine art giclee printing to reproduce the original paintings as limited edition fine art prints, Colin still continues to create the detailed tonal and traditionally printed original etchings for which he was originally best known.
As a popular Rye artist Colin Bailey realised the wider appeal of this small picturesque area of the south east coast of the UK and established the Ryepress site in 2000 as an online portfolio to display his Rye and St Pancras station limited edition etchings for sale to a wider audience than the UK. Now living in Hastings, and established as a Hastings artist he reproduces many of his new oil and acrylic paintings as fine art limited edition giclee prints, scanning his paintings personally and carefully matching the colours to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the reproduction print.
Beyond the traditional views and scenes of Rye & Hastings, Colin has created a portfolio of more experimental oil paintings exploring the weather beaten coastal textures and structures of Rye Bay -the East Sussex coast between Hastings and Dungeness.
