Anthony Garratt is a contemporary British artist living and working in South Devon. He studied at Chelsea College of Artbefore graduating with a BA (Hons) from Falmouth College of Art.
Garratt’s work has gained recognition for its distinctive exploration of landscape, memory, and the relationship between architecture and environment. His commissioned artwork High and Low, created to communicate the mining heritage of Snowdonia, received the prestigious Arts and Business Award in Wales. His outdoor installation To All At Sea was also selected by both The Guardian and The Spectator as one of the “Top Ten Outdoor Artworks”.
Alongside his studio practice, Garratt has developed a strong reputation for public participation projects and environmental engagement. His recent collaborative artworks have raised significant funds for charitable causes, and he is a member of the Wilderness Art Collective, delivering creative workshops that encourage young people to explore environmental issues through art. His paintings are held in private and corporate collections throughout the UK and internationally.
Anthony Garratt’s contemporary landscape paintings combine energetic abstraction with imagined architectural spaces. Inspired partly by travel and partly by memory, his compositions are rich in movement, colour, and layered mark-making. Modernist structures emerge from expressive, oversaturated environments, creating fictional landscapes that feel both familiar and dreamlike.
Alongside these vibrant works, Garratt also creates quieter, more contemplative paintings with a more organic and meditative quality. The contrast between these approaches reflects his ongoing fascination with the polarity of landscape — the tension between stillness and energy, natural and constructed environments, and the emotional ways we experience place.
Collectors are drawn to Garratt’s work for its dynamic surface, atmospheric depth, and distinctive interpretation of the contemporary landscape tradition.
