About the Artist
Ian Ridley is a self-taught artist living and working in Feckenham Worcestershire. His work varies from traditional to semi-abstract featuring the use of both texture and light. Many of his landscapes feature winter trees drawing his inspiration from the Worcestershire countryside where he lives and the work of Roland Hilder. He draws very little in preparation for a painting and many of his paintings are imaginative, drawing from memories and using the suggestions incorporated in initial washes and the finished paintings tend to be places that we all can recognise in our own mind’s eye.
