Dick Chappell
Born 1954 in Derbyshire
Studied
at Goldsmith's College of Art
Moved
to South Wales in 1988
Initially employed at the British Museum as a Conservator in the Ethnographic Department, Dick subsequently taught in Art College for many years.
He has lived and painted in the Clydach Valley for almost two decades, and has an abiding affection for the area. His paintings most commonly concern an experience of the landscape and may relate to a particular place or event, using direct reference to a location as a metaphor. They have a strong relationship, consistent in both subject and approach, to the British abstract landscape tradition of the 50's and 60's.
