7th PLACE WINNER :: Bill Botten / UK

Artist Statement :: The unreal I suppose is my most consistent inclination. At the age of sixteen I started work as a studio boy in an advertising studio in the City of London, which means that I am entirely self taught. It also accounts for my describing my style as eclectic as, having not had any formal training, it was never suggested (happily) that I found one. Eclectic is the only way I can describe my pictures and paintings as I do not ascribe to any particular style of art.. I group my art under the headings Still life, Figures, Abstract, Floral and Humour, but within those groupings is a large diversity of styles and mediums. I also create small statuettes. > Visit artist's website
