Born in Essex in 1959 I moved with my family to Wales in the late 60’s.
I studied Fine Art at Shrewsbury and Falmouth Schools of Art between 1979 and 1983, before setting up a studio in Newcastle upon Tyne where I worked for the next few years. In 1989 I moved back to Wales to join my partner and together we set up a new studio. Around this time my sight deteriorated very quickly and within a few years I had to stop exhibiting work and instead try to find new ways of painting, using just the very limited sight I now had left. We moved to Ayrshire in 1998 and although I was by this time registered blind, I had enough confidence in the new paintings and drawings to once again start exhibiting them. I now have a studio space at Courtyard Studios in Irvine and exhibit my work regularly again. My work has developed along two paths; the organised scribbles that are my drawings and the bolder, broad marks in oil or acrylic of my paintings. Recent works (based on my experiences while out walking in the Scottish Highlands) have combined these two techniques to create richer and more vigorous paintings ... as you'll notice when you visit my website at http://www.keithsalmon.org Showcase | Exhibitions | Contact Keith Salmon Top | View Showcase | Other Scottish Artists # ks08/000 |
