paintings by Living on the north Norfolk coast Anthony became impassioned by the vast skyscape and low horizons of that landscape. Discovering an interest in painting, he was influenced by the light and the large vistas and also tried to find an intimacy in the local flintstone cottages. His interest in the light of Norfolk again found an echo in the Dutch countryside of his forbears. Since working at Parndon Mill, Anthony wanted to break down the barrier of formal perspective and to portray light in his paintings. He wished to create light from his own experience of the greater horizons of space and atmosphere whether in a figurative way or not. Anthony is greatly influenced by the Dutch artists, particularly Vermeer and Mondrian. He has now settled in at Parndon Mill and there has found fresh inspiration for his continuing work. Anthony Cleyndert was born 13 July 1959 and now lives in Widford, Hertfordshire. His studio is at Parndon Mill, Harlow, Essex. His education included a Foundation course at The Central School of Art and Design, London 1978–1979, Hertfordshire University, St. Albans 1984–1989 where he gained a BA Fine Art 2:1, three years study at Surrey University, Wimbledon, London 1990–1993 gaining an MA in printmaking and a post graduate course at The London Institute 2003–2005 where he gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Glass and Fine Art.
