Shane Feeney Artist

 

Artist Statement

I am interested in colour relationships in my oil paintings. All my paintings are done in the studio using black and white photos and memory. The canvas is primed and stretched by hand so that I get a chalky ground which takes the brush marks without over blending. I try to keep the brush marks as free as possible to add life to the paintings. I use an impressionist palate of blues, reds and yellows.

I am aiming for a tranquil immersive feeling in my paintings. I hope to create a relaxed feeling in the viewer and to stimulate their own thoughts and memories of nature, past and present.

I live and work in Bath. After studying art at Salisbury Art College and Coventry University I became a graphic designer and illustrator. I have always painted mainly in oil paint. I have my paintings exhibited at the The Mall Gallery, London and Imagianation Gallery.
