MAWDSLEY

Neil Mawdsley: Profile The odd thing is, I like loads of stuff youngsters like ie pop concerts, techno stuff.. In Sept 2015 I was lucky enough to see the Banksy Dismaland exhibition in Weston -Super- Mare. It was raw, thought provoking, cutting edge art at its best. Perhaps I have some of this angry artist in me coming out over the years, in more thought provoking work. Yet most of my paintings are traditional, searching for beauty, majesty and a positive feeling to life. Early life. I was born in a Lancashire Mill town. After becoming a schoolteacher I moved to Plymouth. Landscapes and seascapes in the areas around Plymouth and North Cornwall are inspirational, and the many moods of the sea never cease to amaze me. That said, I experiment endlessly with many types of media and techniques. After many years of experimentation my paintings are now more in demand, but my output is slower and my style has changed. I paint more in mixed media, especially acrylics which I find matches more..
