A painter, printmaker, teacher and formidably talent draughtsman who made his home on the Lizard peninsula. Vince Tutton enjoyed a distinguished career, from his early days in Wales, later living and working in Italy and Spain. His work was widely appreciated, developing over the years into a powerful and intense form of abstraction whose complexity was expressed by the use of writing, and many layers of paint, pastel and charcoal.

In spring of 2019 a posthumous collection of 60 of Tutton's works was shown at Falmouth Art Gallery, curated by his daughter Jayne and her mother Irene.
