In a painting career spanning half a century, Helen Clapcott (b.1952) has remained consistent in both her choice of subject and her disregard of the art establishments playbook. In this, the first major monograph on the artist, Andrew Lambirth charts Clapcotts unconventional path and presents a painter with an uncompromising vision.Clapcott is a painter preoccupied with the destruction and regeneration of the landscape of her native NorthWest England. Depictions of the mutation and evolution of what was once Stockports industrial valley, now a commuter corridor, are expressions of our developing environments and the growth of vernacular townscapes.Based on numerous conversations with the artist, and an indepth understanding of Clapcotts oeuvre, Andrew Lambirths text provides a lively account of the artists background, training and working methods, including her mastery of tempera. Above all, this is a study of an artists very personal relationship with the evolving landscape of her childhood and her lifelong artistic engagement with the city that she loves.
