Seascape Paintings by Timothy Gent

Discover seascape paintings and coastal art by Timothy Gent, available to buy online. These works explore memory and atmosphere, tracing the shift from direct observation of the British coast to expressive, semi-abstract abstraction.

These semi-abstract oil paintings are rooted in firsthand observation of the British coastline, capturing the movement of waves, the changing light, and the shifting skies across the seasons. Each piece transforms real coastal moments into layered, atmospheric compositions that evoke the mood, rhythm, and energy of the sea.
