KEITH FULFORD
Keith was born in 1962 in London and although he demonstrated an unusual talent for art as a child, he was talked into pursuing a safe career in teaching. He subsequently felt unfulfilled and after a few years quit in order to embark on a course of artistic study.
After gaining both a diploma and a degree, he went on to achieve an MA in Art and Design, specialising in drawing. This was an intense learning period for Keith and during this time he worked in design related fields and gained considerable professional experience. He then decided to take a major step and devote himself to becoming a full time professional artist in the challenging field of fine art.
Keith’s lengthy route to becoming a painter has given him a certain artistic integrity, and enabled him to evolve a unique and personal style, clearly reflected in his stunning contemporary work. He is influenced by cinematic imagery and has a natural affection for city life, by the coast and in the landscape. He is equally at home painting light but his paintings always capture drama, atmosphere and mood with imagination and passion.
“The city has two conflicting sides to its personality – reflective and mysterious on the one hand, but bold and theatrical on the other. I love to take this intriguing duality and find within it the grain of an idea that will both engage and uplift people.”
He has taken on many private commissions over the years and his work has been exhibited at a number of prestigious galleries and events across the UK.
