Bill Bone, Trafalgar Square, Oil on Wax Panel

Trafalgar Square Oil On Wax Panel by Sky Arts Portrait Artist Finalist Bill Bone. A well executed work of this Iconic London Landmark Trafalgar Square. Please note the last five pictures are of Bill and some of his amazing work. Dimensions: 66.5cm x 44cm Bills paintings are prepared by dripping wax onto wood panels to create a sensual and topographical surface upon which an accumulation of small, measured pieces of colour are built up over time using dots which can be likened to both pixels and pointillism. Bill has appeared on season 2 of Sky Art’s Portrait Artist of the Year, winning the Cardiff heat with his painting of Ade Adepitan and painted a double portrait of Richard Dawkins and Sally Hitcher at the sem-final at the Royal Academy in London. He also appeared on season 3 and again became a finalist in his heat with his portrait of Sue Perkins. “Bill Bone’s portraits are a beautiful thing to behold, with their lumpy waxen surface coagulated with a myriad of delicate specks of paint and vibrant colours. The result is an object that is uneven and encrusted like an archaeological find but also a radiant image.” Tai Shan Schierenberg
