Stepping through the doors into the cool interior of Eype church, the colours and vibrancy of Stephen Bishop's artwork assails the senses. Richly textured surfaces and an array of subject matter: Dorset landscapes, Spanish villages, realistic and abstract compositions, strange figures staring out, seemingly lost in time. The eye is drawn to his bright, textured Purbeck landscapes. By painting his landscapes in situ he is able to emphasize the sense of place, evoking the power of nature with the sweep of the palette knife. Adjacent to this sits a painting of a mysterious doorway, stairs leading up to a door ajar.
