Roger Aslin RI NAPA

Roger Aslin's main creative focus during recent years has been painting, using photography as an integral part of the process. Having created a significant body of work, Roger has exhibited in a number of open exhibitions including the Royal Watercolour Society, the British Art Prize, the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition, the Art Gemini Prize, the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours at the Mall Galleries, London

His practice explores two key areas – the figure and the urban environment. Through the medium of paint, his work shows how people interact with the contemporary environment. He portrays urban life in dramatic colour and shade using a highly contrasting palette to additionally emphasise shape and form. His work takes him into the city where he takes images on camera or phone, later to be refined and honed digitally in the studio before commencing painting on paper, board or canvas.
