Ted Stourton – Artist of the New Renaissance

by Kevin Hurst

If the pen is mightier than the sword and a picture paints a thousand words, what would happen if a painter used his brush to communicate images of hope and inspiration?

That was the question that one rising British artist asked himself while taking in the extraordinary beauty of a seascape one afternoon a few years ago.

Fast forward a few years of intense, purposeful artistic production: the Ted Stourton collection at Camelot Castle Hotel in Tintagel, Cornwall is one of the largest collections of an artist’s work anywhere in the world.

In the last fourteen months alone, over nineteen hundred and fifty original works and paintings by Stourton have found their way into collectors’ hands across the world as demand for his work grows apace.

Currently, a permanent exhibition of nearly 1000 original paintings by Stourton can be seen at Camelot Castle Hotel where the artist currently has his studios.

A small sample of his work can be seen online here.

Many visitors to Camelot have remarked on the extraordinary effects that Ted Stourton’s work has had on them.

Artists from around the world have made their way to Camelot to meet Stourton, share their ideas, and to tap into the extraordinary creative inspiration that is being generated there.

Why is Ted Stourton so Popular?

Ted Stourton has a lot going for him.

For one thing he is a very pleasant man.
For another he dedicates a great deal of his time and energy to helping other, aspiring, artists "make it" the way he has.
But of course, by "popular," I mean popular as an artist. His works are in increasingly bigger demand, evidently by a virtual Who's Who of A-list celebrities, billionaires and tycoons who are able to afford the very best and settle for nothing less.
Self-made people of substance tend to know their own mind and will not tolerate amateurism or second-rate work.
Thus, they beat a path to Ted Stourton's door beside the sea at Camelot Castle in Cornwall. And the path is tending to become so well-trodden these days, I wouldn't be surprised if the local council at Tintagel  decided to tarmac it and add street lighting or perhaps build a small harbour for the yachts anchored off the coast!
The simple truth of the matter is that Ted Stourton is very very good at what he does and his paintings are nothing short of superb, on a par with Claude Monet or Pablo Picasso in his prime.
That's my opinion of course, but it's one shared by a host of very successful and wealthy people who know a thing or two about fellow achievers - and are more than willing to pay top dollar for his work.
And if one is a Brit, Ted Stourton gives one reason to be proud: France had its Monet, Spain had Picasso.and we, God bless his aesthetic soul, have Ted Stourton.
Many of Ted's works can be seen at Camelot Castle, the hotel in Cornwall owned by John Mappin, the media baron, and his wife Irina Mappin.
