Survival

This painting in oil on canvas was inspired by a quote by Norman Borlaug who was an american Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1970. He said “Man’s survival from the time of Adam and Eve until the invention of agriculture must have been precarious because of his ability to ensure his food supply”

About angela brittain

Each work I create has a search for “rightness” – an attempt to solve complex and often self-imposed compositional problems. They often have a tension below the surface. I work mainly in oil or acrylics on board. People fascinate me but I’m not sure that I made a conscious decision to make people central to my work or if this subject chose me. I have a Diploma in Art and Design and worked for several years as a graphic designer and illustrator before finally returning to my first love of drawing & painting in 2008. I have taught art to children and adults and currently offer one-to-one workshops from my home studio in West Sussex. I am a Member of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and exhibit in London and the South.
