About David Paul Rowan Sen RBA

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

I create paintings of transport and subjects drawn from an enormous archive of different media, including works from negatives. Bequeathed to me from my grandfather, who was interested in photography, between the wars from his work on the railway.

Method of Working

I use a brush to paint with acryllic on panel or stretched linen. I often use a scraping back effect in my artwork. I use paper, which is from a sustainable source. I usually work on two artworks at a time. I work from elderly archive monochrome negatives and am able to originate an accurate approximation of the colour. I also draw from life. Before creating my artwork I usually prepare a painstakingly detailed drawing. I regularly travel to the house/studio that my wife and I share in Haripal/West Bengal to depict the many idiosyncratic Hindu temples in the vicinity. I also live in a particularly beautiful part of the UK with inspirational views from my house
