About Me |
|
Born in 1961, Derek has fostered a passion for art since an early age. Realising at school that his talents lay in drawing and painting he has spent his adult years committed to his abilities.Like many artists, Derek has led an unusual life, which includes extensive travel and homelessness, which has provided him with experiences from which to draw upon for inspiration. Completely self-taught, he has learnt that an unconventional approach to painting can often lead to dramatic results. Derek's strong visual ability and eye for colour enables him to focus initially upon the main character, with the background reflecting the mood and feeling of the painting. Much of his earlier work is influenced by Dali, his later pieces reflect a more punk theme. His work includes nature, architecture and abstract, ranging from oil paintings to murals.Derek's work illustrates much of his charcter; he seeks enjoyment from other people's interpretation and appreciation which he has gained through exhibitions. He enjoys experimenting with colour, designs and where possible he likes to work collaboratively with other artists on murals.Derek's work has culminated in painting large scale murals for a range of organisations including schools, the YMCA and markets. His murals are noted for their striking colour, clarity of picture and their ability to create a focused or stimulating backdrop tailored to enhance their environment.
