DEREK INWOOD

Derek Inwood was a student at the Salisbury Art School where he obtained a Diploma in Design in 1952.

While still a student, he answered an advert in a local paper inserted by an artist seeking help to look after his house and studio at Combe Bissett.  The artist was Henry Lamb (1883-1960) – one of a group of loosely connected artists of the Cranborne Chase – an area that coveres 380 square miles and bridges the counties of Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.  Other connected artists include William and Ben Nicholson, Lucian Freud, Augustus John and Francis Hodgkins.

In 1958 Inwood won a prize which enabledhim to study at  Oskar Kokoschka's 'School of Vision' in Salzburg, Austria.  Kokoschka's course involved making quick sketchesof models as they moved around the castle rooms.  'You had to catch them very rapidly in watercolour.  It is still at the heart of what I do today.  I'm interested in colour and space.'  In 1958 he also spent some time at 'L'Académie de la Grande Chaumiére' in Paris where he felt truly at home.  'They somehow understood about painting and being a painter, which they didn't in England at that time... I put God on the mat... and played the game of being alive.'

Inwood painted both in oil and more unusually in oil pastels.  His paintings reflect the places he lived, including France, Henley-on-Thames and in later years Sheringham, Norfolk.  Vivid colours and interesting subject placement make his pictures instantly recognisable.
