Artist of the Week - Trevor Ferguson

"Simply Red" by Trevor Ferguson

"Simply Red" is an unusual dramatic, romantic and atmospheric study of a female nude. It is painted in oils on a 20mm deep canvas panel. This is one of Trevor's latest nude studies. Trevor's aim is to achieve realism while at the same time creating a scene or picture which may or may not exist in real life. Many of his works are based on French life, portraits and the female form.

Trevor says: 

"My love of human faces prompts me to paint portraits – again using photographs – either supplied by clients or taken by myself I try to capture the character & personality of the sitter. 
I have learned a lot by studying the techniques of the old masters and in some ways by trying to emulate them – I feel I might be half way there – the old part anyway – not too sure about the master part though. My animal portraits are treated in the same way."

Artist of the Week - Trevor Ferguson

Trevor Ferguson is our current Artist of the week. Trevor says:
"I was born & brought up on the north east coast of England but now live in West Yorkshire.
Having had a number of careers in the past – engineering draughtsman, bank official, school teacher and even some time in the military (Parachute Regiment) I am now able to indulge in my passion for painting which has now become my full time occupation – that and framing my own works and those of fellow artists.
I work nowadays in Alkyd oil which I find suits my style – acrylics dry too quickly for me and regular oils don’t let me get on with a piece as quickly as I would like.
I am fascinated by people – faces and postures.
I create scenes and pictures by using a number of photographs for inspiration & reference – moving people around until I can compose a layout which tells a story and maybe with some humour and lots of new things to find at each viewing of the painting.

Artist of The Week - Trevor Ferguson

Well...once again we have Trevor Ferguson as our Artist of the week. I had a wander through Trevor's work on Affordable British Art and my eye was drawn to this one:

I love the mens' expressions as they studiously examine the wine and savour the anticipation of that first sampling. There's also an element of pride and satisfaction in their expressions....suggesting they may have been involved in the production of this particular bottle of red.

Its a fantastic painting - very well composed and expertly executed.
