James Hart Dyke
James Hart Dyke is best known for his landscape exhibitions based on his journeys across the Himalayas. He has travelled four times with The Prince of Wales as official artist on foreign royal tours and has recently worked for the British Forces in Helmand, Afghanistan and Baghdad, Iraq.
His most recent exhibition, Royal Tours, was held at John Mitchell Fine Painting, 44 Old Bond Street, London, last November. It was featured as ‘Sale of the Week’ by The Financial Times, 24/25 November 2007.
Hart Dyke was born in 1966 and started painting at the age of eight after seeing a small landscape study by John Constable. He studied architecture at The Royal College of Art and at Manchester University before studying painting as a postgraduate at the City and Guilds of London Art School.
'Hart Dyke's ability to capture the essence of fleeting effects of light …..puts him firmly among the best of British school plein air painters', The Art Newspaper, International Edition, December 2004
