Born in 1961, Duncan
grew up in the Midlands where he still spends a substantial part of the
year. Despite living so far inland, he managed to develop a passion for
the sea, and spent a highly significant eighteen months sailing across
the Atlantic and then around the coast of Britain. He now spends part of
the year back home in the Midlands, and the rest of the time in
Scotland.
Taking his inspiration from the surrounding landscape and of course the
sea, Duncan is particularly fascinated by the effects of natural light
on colour. His distinctive palette conveys the cool yet vibrant shades
of sea and sky as they appear in the brilliant light of the sun. Verging
on the abstract, his work is characterised by the dense application of
richly textured acrylics, which create a sense of spontaneity and
unstoppable energy.
Since turning professional, Duncan has enjoyed considerable success
across the UK, displaying his work in both galleries and private
collections.
