Brian West

My early passions were sport and art - when not playing football, was drawing footballers.This must have formed the base of my interest in figurative action. Trying to evoke an extra emotional dimension from the subject matter infusing vibrant colour and tonal variants into the conflict, effort and movement of whatever is taking place.

Son of an amateur artist I began painting in oils at an early age and attended classes at Mansfield School of Art from the age of ten. I started seriously painting in the 70's, working professionally since 1990 and have been lucky to have work commissioned by many famous names from sports and corporate organisations.,
