The world is trying to cope with a pandemic of great magnitude on a scale no one has witnessed before. The country is struggling financially. In these uncertain times, with all the pressures that this brings we are all suffering mentally.
As artists, we are now in a position to do something to help ourselfs and others . By asking people to take time out, relax and to forget what is going on around us and spend some time in the “art world” which as artists is what we do when we decide to share our art with others.
We all need some me time. This painting is from me to you. Stay well

Presentation and Biography
Brian Lockett
Born in Rochdale England in 1958, I left school at the age of sixteen and headed off to Rochdale College of art and design. Although I spent two years in the sculpture department my early influences included LS Lowry of whom I felt I could relate.
I crossed the pennines in 1978 bound for Leeds Polytechnic School Of Fine Art, where under the tutelage of George Hainsworth and the influence of Henry Moore, I developed as a sculptor. Graduating with a BA hons in fine art, I became recognised as one of Britain's 1980 young contemporaries, with works on view in several of Britain's major city Art galleries.
I crossed the pond and did an MA at Concordia Montreal, after which Travel and Adventure became my life.
By the mid 1980’s I set up a studio in Newport Beach California, earning a living silk screen printing and selling pencil drawings. The drawings were accurate representational landscape renderings, some of which found their way into several celebrities private collections.
By the 1990’s I was producing prints for surfing design companies. I moved to Colorado producing and printing commercial ski related images.
It wasn't until the 2000's, I returned back to Europe, I rediscovered my passion for “real art” after visiting galleries in Rome, Paris, Venice and Girona.
I have developed my recent painting technique following the lines of abstract suggestion.
I use the figure, object or landscape to inspire rather than represent. Colour and shapes continue to dominate my recent work. I use these to create movement depth, mood and a feeling of rhythm.
My influences now include…. Picasso, Monet,Brian utenberg, George Hainsworth ( my mentor) and my “old friend” David Hockney
