Stephen Conroy

After leaving Wimbledon School of Art, where I studied sculpture and discovered my lack of ability in this subject, I went on to do a number of jobs including teaching art. After a couple of decades I decided that I wanted to be a full-time artist.

My work is created from the simplest of elements; rectangles, circles, triangles and lines. Add to these elements a love of pure, bright colour and you have the essence of my work. I believe in the intuitive and I allow my emotions and instincts to guide the process of adding and removing shapes and colours until a composition is finally achieved. I am influenced by the art of Kandinsky and Mondrian and I am about to embark on a series of nudes influenced by Matisse.
