Artist Gerard Tunney lives on the North-East coast and is fascinated by the combination of light and movement and also the various rhythms and counter-rhythms of the sea ; and these contrasts are what drive his paintings towards their final resolution. 

Most of Gerard's paintings are acrylic on canvas.
He says : "Acrylic combines the spontaneity of watercolour with the sturdiness of oil paint. Acrylic dries fairly quickly so that I can generate an immediacy within the work as it progresses and  the paintings always retains that element of freshness that I am always trying to capture"
