After graduating form the Slade School
of Fine Art with a Special Commendation in Drawing, Brian began
his teaching and lecturing career, specialising in Life Drawing
and Photographic Composition. Throughout his life time he has taken
part in many one man and mixed exhibitions, showing both traditional
landscape and figurative works as well as colourful Abstract compositions,
which feature in this current exhibition at Ripley Arts Centre.
Brian will also be showing a collection of Photographs in the Drawing
room.
Abstract compositions:
“Working from sketches and photographs I begin by simplifying
the image into a linear design before transferring to the canvas.
During the development of the painting the subject is lost to the
abstract arrangement of shape and colour. As I rework areas I try
to leave traces of the original design -as in life, which is made
up of small comings and goings, everything we take with us still
leaves something behind and I try to reflect this feeling in my
work.”
