Metal Print : Monday, Bryan Pearce (1929-2007)
Metal Prints from Royal Cornwall Museum
Monday, Bryan Pearce (1929-2007)
Oil on board, 1959. Bryan Pearce was born in St Ives in 1929 and suffered from the then unknown condition Phenylketonuria, which affects the normal development of the brain. Encouraged by his mother, the painter Mary Pearce, and then by other St Ives artists, he began drawing and painting in watercolours in 1953. His regular walks around St Ives, where he lived all his life, have been the inspiration for his subject matter, unconsciously recording the towns subtle changes. In this synthesis of imagination and reality, Pearce paints the world as he commands it; a sanctuary with an ever-present sun, bathing the streets and houses in the subtlest of colour harmonies. He worked slowly, but consistently, producing around twelve oil paintings a year. Often compared to Alfred Wallis, the late Peter Lanyon said of him: Because his sources are not seen with a passive eye, but are truly happenings, his painting is original. His particular experiences of his hometown were captured with unique clarity. Pearces artistic developments, his simple renditions of space, colour and light, evolve from a sophisticated understanding of composition. He had a career which spanned over fifty years, his paintings seem to evoke a serene sense of place, which seems at once personal yet archetypal. He is now recognised as one of the countrys foremost naive painters, through the re-examination of familiar views and landmarks, Pearce offers us his profound, extraordinary experience of St Ives

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Bryan Pearce, a talented painter born in St Ives in 1929. Despite suffering from the little-known condition Phenylketonuria, which affects brain development, Pearce's artistic journey was nurtured by his mother Mary and fellow artists in St Ives. In 1953, he began expressing his creativity through watercolors and later transitioned to oil paintings. Pearce's deep connection with his hometown is evident in this piece titled "Monday". Through a synthesis of imagination and reality, he masterfully commands the world he paints. The streets and houses are bathed in subtle color harmonies under an ever-present sun that creates a sanctuary-like atmosphere. Known for working slowly but consistently, Pearce produced around twelve oil paintings annually throughout his fifty-year career. His unique perspective on St Ives has been compared to renowned artist Alfred Wallis. Peter Lanyon once praised him for capturing not just passive scenes but true happenings. Pearce's artistic evolution is reflected in his simple renditions of space, color, and light—a testament to his sophisticated understanding of composition. His profound experience of St Ives resonates deeply within each painting while simultaneously evoking a sense of serenity that feels both personal and universal. Today, Bryan Pearce is celebrated as one of the country's foremost naive painters. By re-examining familiar views and landmarks with extraordinary clarity, he offers us an intimate glimpse into the essence of St Ives—an experience that transcends commercial use or mere representation.
