FOREWORD
This new body of work from established artist Neil Dawson brings a new flavour of his signature style to his audience. The added element of photorealism in his methodology has afforded a different perspective to the city scenes for which he has won a legion of dedicated collectors. This new work, being both familiar and different, represents a new age for Dawson as we see him experiment with technique to deliver the dynamism of city life through fresh eyes. “I approached this work as I approach most new collections - looking for an evolution in the work that will marry older, successful and recognisable elements of my previous work with something that’s new and a bit different.” – Neil Dawson Dawson’s existing passion for photography was compounded when he completed a specialist six month course in the discipline, affording him greater acumen with his prized SLR camera. The result was a plethora of reference photography, rich with detail, shade and bursts of light such as he had not worked with before. The depth of these images spurred Dawson to approach his interpretation differently; the result is a presentation of cities so vibrant and alive, one can feel the hustle and bustle, hear the traffic and lose oneself in the urban landscape they offer.
