Ted Stourton – Artist of the New Renaissance

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.

Ted Stourton, Painter - Wise Man of Camelot. Part 1

"Ted's warmth and desire to help others may be sneered and sniped at by the terminally cynical but this is often the cross that must be borne by the generous of spirit and one has but to meet the real Ted Stourton to discover they are as genuine, sincere and uplifting as his art."

British Actor John Ryes Davies with Ted Stourton
Ted Stourton is an exceptionally gifted painter.

In fact. he is rapidly becoming England's foremost living artist and his work has attracted strong interest from collectors and celebrities with an eye for the finer things.. Among such big names are actor Nicholas Cage and international ballet star, Carlos Acosta.
Many of Ted's paintings are on display at Camelot Castle in Cornwall, England and you have but to see them to understand why his work is so prized.
But if you haven't been to Camelot just yet, do try because I promise you that you are guaranteed both a warm welcome and an aesthetic treat.
Albeit the internet can never do justice to the real thing, pay a visit to www,camelotcastle,com in the meantime and take a look at some of the wonderful Stourton paintings that are featured there.
One of the things I like about Ted Stourton is that the fame and acclaim have not alloyed his affinity with fellow artists, nor blunted his enthusiasm for helping aspiring artists find their way to success and artistic fulfillment.
The Camelot Castle project he co-owns with John Mappin and John's wife Irina Mappin is a case in point. Based in magical King Arthur country in Tintagel in Cornwall (hence the hotel's name) it is dedicated to helping artists find success and to revitalizing those who have encountered barriers and invalidations that have blunted their purpose.
Ted's warmth and desire to help others may be sneered and sniped at by the terminally cynical but this is often the cross that must be borne by the generous of spirit and one has but to meet the real Ted Stourton to discover they are as genuine, sincere and uplifting as his art.
This is something with which visitors to Camelot Castle evidently concur, as evinced by the letter featured here.
