The Rainbow Nation comes through to win Stage 4 of the Tour Down Under

Garth Bayley South African road race champion Daryl Impey (Mitchelton-SCOTT) has won a brutal sprint to the finish against GC rival Patrick Bevin (CCC Team) after a group of 20 riders descended from Corkscrew Road on 100% Stage 4.

The Corkscrew’s return to the race after a one-year hiatus heralded expectation of a day to break apart the Santos General Classification – and break it did, but not in the way many expected.

Garth moved from South Africa to the UK which is where he got some of his inspiration from. Garth says: "I find my paintings are darker and more atmospheric in the winter and vibrant in the summer. I have been inspired by the big skies and ever-changing clouds. The buildings also sit very differently in the landscape and I find myself wanting to tell a story rather than taking a snapshot on the place. I tend to go for long walks and this is a great way to immerse yourself in the area you wanting to capture. You build up a memory of place and this then affect your final work." Futhermore: "I aim to capture the movement and feeling of a moment where it is transformed into a dynamic work of art. My art is in collections across the world with a strong global collectors' base. I paint sports, cycling, landscape, people, buildings and dancers. My work is big bold and full of movement. I think in painting a building or a person there is a sense of movement. I work across a range of themes in an expressionistic style. I cover sports, people, buildings and landscape. Most is inspired by my everyday experiences. I work mainly in traditional oil on canvas but find water-based oils are faster drying and more immediate on paper. On the paper based work I love working in other mediums like charcoal and pastels. I also dabble in clay and wire." To discuss more works by Garth Bayley please contact deborah@wychwoodart.com, or call 07799 535765 / 01869 338155.
