About Arthur Lockwood RBA

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

I chose to record the changes taking place in Birmingham and the Black Country: demolition of Nineteenth Century buildings and the construction of new landmarks such as Bull Ring shopping centre. I also wanted to document the metal working factories and foundries before they disappeared.

Method of Working

I work in watercolour using pen and wash method. I draw and paint on the spot working mosty in half imperial size.
