Impressions Of Digley: Quiet Paths & Wild Moorlands
Explore Digley and the surrounding moorlands through the drawings and paintings of Yorkshire’s rambling landscape artist Fritz Fitton.
Having explored Digley as a young boy, this new body of work is a rediscovery inspired by becoming immersed once more in its quiet lanes and dramatic moorlands, showing the change in perspective borne out of memory, experience, and ever-changing nature.
Drawing in the open air, he quickly captures the moment using ink and homemade tools before developing the work further with ink, acrylic and watercolour. Inspired by both impressionistic and more modern techniques, he uses atmospheric effects to bottle up the light, the seasons and weather.
These rambles through Digley’s paths, moors and woodlands are the story of a place and its history, and of finding a newfound appreciation for the landscape of his youth.
