NEIL DAWSON


Neil Dawson loved art as a child and decided at a young age that he wanted to be an artist. Due to this, he decided to continue his artistic education at Central Saint Martins College in London. Unfortunately, the course he took actually put him off becoming an artist for quite some time as he struggled with some parts of the course; he did not like to discuss his work and did not like to either, as he preferred to let his audience come to their own opinions and conclusions about his art. He felt that discussing and justifying his paintings spoilt the escapism and freedom of creating his art in the first place and made him feel very uncomfortable.

After his short spell at Art College, he decided to do a degree in Economics and went on to a career in banking, and did not paint for many years.

It was only when Neil began to travel that he once again took an interest in art. He photographed many places that had inspired him and re-captured his passion for art, and so when he returned from his travels, he took out his old paint palette. As he painted the places that evoked many kinds of feeling from him, he suddenly realised just how much he had missed painting. He says that he will never regret going back into art and has never looked back since becoming a full time artist.

Dawson is well known for painting cityscapes and taxi cabs usually in the evening, dawn and dusk. He captures the movement of people, cars and the usual city hustle and bustle perfectly, and the way he paints the bright city lights is very realistic.
