Brian Parsons

‘My drawings and paintings are an instinctive and irrational activity, although non figurative, elements of human presence are there. I like colour dynamic and strongly contrasted. For me any picture that does not give immediate sensation is a dead picture’

Brian Parsons is an established artist, living and working in Taunton. He has exhibited widely, both as a solo artist and with groups such as with the Artists 303, recently showing his work in the very successful Bath Place Festival.

Over the twenty years his painting as developed from early closely observed and sharply detailed representational works, to a more expressive, personal, abstract style, where line and colour is used to evoke memories of landscape or figures.

Brian has exhibited widely throughout the South of England, London including the Royal Academy and in France. Notably, he met and worked with Roger Hilton in St.Just Cornwall and was featured with his family and work in the BBC2 film about the trials and tribulations of artists entering summer exhibitions. The film was produced by Jenny Barraclough and called ‘The Summer Exhibition’.
