Successful ARPS panel submission to Royal Photographic Society in
September 2005
featuring images from Lanzarote including the work of Cesar Manrique

The images are of Lanzarote and the work of local artist Cesar Manrique

Nature was the fundamental reference for his work and existence. He maintained a profound commitment to the defence of the natural environment of the island and the protection of the natural beauty of Lanzarote until his death in 1992. His work is continued by the Manrique Foundation

I share his passion for the island so it was natural to create a panel of images which represent the influences of the island on the artist

• 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 feature the landscape and natural surroundings
• 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13 show the work of Cesar Manrique and highlight his interpretation of natural colour, shape and texture
• 11 and 12 illustrate the relationship between natural wood, traditional colours and the importance of the sea
• 14 and 15 indicate the importance of religion in the lives of the local people
