Vincent Spain

 Vincent Spain, a painter based in London. BA (Hons) Ceramics at Camberwell College of Arts 1996-1999 was the culmination of various art-based studies to include, St Martins and The City Lit, Fleet Street. The work as the name suggests is just that, experiments, jousting with paint, stumbling on ideas, happy accidents, flow state mind, allowing himself to be guided by the marks, intuitively responding, sharp corners of low visibility until the task is scrutinized from a weary chair, with looking equally important as painting, and then it's over and he is already planning the next. Inspiration comes from everything and nothing, in the right light or moment anything can be a painting or at least the catalyst for one. Influenced by mid-20th century painting, his work harks back to that era but is firmly in today’s realm.  His work has been shown at the following exhibitions: Columbia Threadneedle Painting Prize 2016, Sunday Times Watercolour Competition 2017, ING Discerning Eye 2018, The Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers 2020 and 2021, The Other Art Fair London 2023.
