Lawrie Williamson was educated in Derbyshire
and at the age of sixteen won a major exhibition to study at Nottingham
College of Art. This was followed by Nottingham University and L'Ecole
des Beaux Arts, in Paris.
His subjects vary widely and are drawn from
a wealth of experience and observation. The one common factor is
light. A pub interior, launching a curragh on the beach or views
of Venice, each is filled with light of its own which remains undimmed
even in a darkened room.
Winner of the Cornellisen Prize and twice
winner of the Stanley Grimm Prize at the Annual Exhibition of the
Royal Institute of Oil Painters, also the Canson Prize at the Royal
Birmingham Society of Arists, he paints mostly in oils, but also
in watercolours and pastels. |
