Movement remains a key factor in this work, which explores how gesture can manifest itself within the still image.
Derek Dickinson, who was born in 1960, hails from southwest England. In 1983, he relocated to London and held various creative positions, including designer, stylist, assistant director, and roles in artist management and PR, primarily within the music industry. Upon returning to the South West, Derek pursued formal art education at Plymouth City College and ultimately obtained a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Plymouth in 2010. In 2019, he furthered his education at the University of Plymouth, earning an MA in Fine Art.
Derek’s artwork has been showcased in solo and collaborative exhibitions, with notable displays at esteemed venues such as the Royal Academy, London and Berlin. His art primarily delves into autobiographical themes, exploring the human experience, and is featured in permanent collections worldwide.
Derek resides in a secluded farm cottage on the Duchy of Cornwall Estate.
"My art is primarily autobiographical, exploring the human experience, including its more challenging aspects.
Movement is a critical element of my work, and my abstract fluid forms reflect my interest in the essence of existence. My canvas pieces, often created with acrylic paint and muslin, delve into spirituality through textured forms.
My artistic journey has significantly shifted from monochrome to the reintroduction of colour. Previously, I mainly worked in monochrome, using pure white with occasional touches of grey and black. This approach allowed me to remove anything unnecessary from the composition, inviting the viewer to focus solely on the piece’s emotion.
Over time, I began reintroducing primary colours to see if they could bring new meaning and strength to the work, as they are often associated with fundamental emotions and primal energy. Expressionistic yet controlled, muslin is thrown and manipulated until the piece’s essence is revealed.
