Inspired by the Coast: Joe Webster
This month’s Inspired by the Coast feature introduces the work and thinking of Joe Webster, known as Feral, a Devon-based artist whose practice is deeply rooted in the wild landscapes of the South West coast. Blending the immediacy and graphic energy of street art with the tradition of plein air landscape painting, Joe creates work that is shaped as much by the elements as by his own hand. From painting through storms and sea spray to exploring themes of connection, resilience and ecological change, his art invites us to see nature not as a backdrop, but as a living, dynamic force. In this interview, Joe reflects on the influences behind his work, the profound impact of the coastline on his creative vision, and why the South West Coast Path remains an enduring source of inspiration, reflection and belonging.
