From the initial abstract blocks of colour, Derek builds the play of light on form following the inspiration of earlier painters such as Vuillard, Degas and Turner. He prefers direct observation often working on site at any time of day or night. Derek's work shows his strong passion, excitement and sensitivity for his subject, always seeking to capture a moment in time. Searching out subjects that excite his eye, Derek has travelled extensively, predominantly in Britain and Europe. Derek exhibits internationally and at many galleries throughout the UK. He has exhibited with the Federation of British Artists and is a regular invited exhibitor at several other major central London galleries. His paintings are part of many private collections both in the UK and abroad, including that of Henrietta, Duchess of Bedford. Derek still lives in Stony Stratford with his wife Caroline and son Luke. RECENT WORK |
