Wayne Forrester

Wayne Forrester was born in London, England in 1980. He is self taugh artist and poet who draws inspiration from Scottish artists Jack Vettriano, Iain Faulkner, the American artist Todd White and Brighton based artist, Sam Toft.

His oeuvre demonstrates a contemporary interpretation of colours, and he is known for his oil paintings of abstract expressionist male and female figures, focusing on exquisite strengths and complexities through bold and vibrant colours, incorporating space, and texture to convey human emotions. His unique painting skills, eye for capturing an expression that portrays an intimate story, and material experimentation are combined together to create a dynamic harmony between emotion and design. Wayne explores the boundaries of contemporary expressionism in each piece he creates.

Wayne currently lives in Cambridgeshire and works between Cambridge, London and Brighton. His work demonstrates the challenges and triumpths of colour compositions and exploration as a result of a non-traditional process aimed at Expressionism. He strips down the process and its essentials, following a simplestic method that follows an organic process that takes shape as each piece is created.
