Hugh Kerr is an artist living in
London, in the UK. He is self
taught and has progressed
from fairly basic use of ink and
gouache to more
sophisticated use of acrylic
and oil on canvas in the last 5
years.
My professional training is in the
area of geology and
environmental science. Elements
from these various experiences
show through, sometimes in an
indirect and abstract way. Whilst I
hope that people can detect
elements of the world they see
around them in my work, I leave
much of the interpretation to the
viewer.
Inspiration for my ideas comes
from a multitude of directions. The
'Life by the vent' and ‘Alien Plants’
series both take shapes and
forms from the natural world and
reassemble them to give an
impression of other worldliness.
Other paintings are also
influenced by the natural
environment, but also the physical
properties of materials, bodies in
motion. A number of works are
based on musings on the
everyday behaviour of the people
in the office where I work.
