Neil Pittaway RWS RE                                                     An introduction

 

Neil is a British born artist currently working and living in the UK. On this site you will discover the full sweep of Neil’s work detailed complex drawings, Prints and Paintings which echo a historical past that is interwoven within the present day. 

 

Neil uses historical subjects, imaginative processes, direct observation and travel to create his paintings; his use of exuberant colours influenced by recent travels to South America, continental and Eastern Europe, middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and the far East. He often uses intense detail to capture the spirit of a place. This is particularly the case in his intaglio works and drawings which relate present modernity in Western culture to a historical past. These works are detailed and complex and draw predominantly for their inspiration on the city through a maze of architectural and historic subjects from 18th and 19th century artists and satirists; Piranesi, Gillray and Cruikshank.

 

Neil studied at Gloucestershire University, Bradford University (MA in Printmaking) and the Royal Academy Schools, London. He is a member of the Royal Watercolour Society and the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers and has exhibited his work throughout the UK and internationally.
