Roger Burridge

Roger studied at Bournemouth Art College and graduated to the RCA Sculpture School in 1962, where he was taught by Bernard Meadows, Ralph Brown, Robert Clatworthy and the critic David Sylvester.

He then worked in Film and TV, as an Art Director designing sets, where he hoped to develop his ideas on form and space on a large scale.

However, Roger always found himself coming back to his own work, where he was becoming more involved with colour and consequently painting and in 2001 moved to Southern France to devote myself to it.

In his paintings Roger explores colour and light, form and space and their relationships, rhythms and dynamics.

Although abstract, they have their origins in nature and the surrounding countryside.

His ink and iPad drawings are like a diary or sketchbook, trying to capture sensations of everyday life and are an important, integral part of the process, where many discoveries and decisions are made.
