About debArt
As a self representing artist I now offer various artworks for sale
to, what I hope, is an appreciative list of clients. I originally
trained in art but never pursued it as career. This was a
move that I later came to regret, and having worked for a living in
the 'rat race' I returned to painting for pleasure a few years
back. As happens with many people, the hobby took over
fulltime and became debArt. My days are now spent peacefully
in my studio rather than fighting for a seat on a packed commuter
train!
Over the years my painting styles have ranged through landscapes,
surrealism, abstract, pop art and many other styles in various
mediums. Oils have always been a favourite, but I became frustrated
with the length of time oils take do dry. A better alternative is
offered by modern acrylics, which behave very similarly to oils,
but tend not control you with their drying times, and it is for
this reason that acrylics are now my chosen medium.
My recent painting interest is study of light and its effect on
various three dimensional forms, and there is none so interesting
as the human face. It is this area of painting which
currently constitutes the bulk of my work. Defining shape in
monotone, to produce an image that is instantly recognisable,
primarily in portraits, is an immense challenge, but has proved
popular with everyone who views the results.
The debArt website is a recent addition to the various platforms
via which I sell my work and I hope you enjoy browsing the varied
pieces. I intend to add more work as time passes and some of my
paintings will be offered as limited edition prints and made
available on this site. Prints, whilst not quite the same as an
original painting, give people the opportunity of owning an
original debArt artwork at a very affordable price and on a scale
which will suit modern homes.
I hope you enjoy browsing the website, please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions or would like a
painting commissioned in my current style.
