CRISPIN HEESOM

‘After graduating from the Byam Shaw school of art in London in 1973 I did a series of different jobs but always kept painting. I lived in an Acme house in Hackney.  I have been a full time artist since 1992 and have shown in London, Cambridge and Viersen in Germany.

The work consists mainly of oil paintings and drawings and etchings. My main source of inspiration until recently has been landscape, but now I am working on a series inspired by figures in motion.

In my work I want to maintain an abstract independence between form and content. My aim being to work on the borderline between abstraction and figuration rather than copying nature.’
