NEVILLE FLEETWOOD 1932-2021
Neville Fleetwood, who studied at Huddersfield Art School with the artist William Selby, painted professionally for a number of years using oil, acrylic and mixed media. His contemporary paintings demonstrate a strong, bold use of colour and vibrancy, which are developed by applying layer upon layer with painterly brushstrokes.
Neville Fleetwood was particularly well known for his still life paintings, where he positioned everyday objects in carefully crafted suspended space producing balance and sustainable interest, and landscapes full of atmosphere, with patchwork fields arranged into a vivid abstract design.
Over the years Neville Fleetwood emerged as an important name in British Art. His contemporary paintings created an impressive following and he exhibited at major London galleries and won many major art awards.
Neville Fleetwood was an elected member of The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and his contemporary paintings are in collections worldwide.
