Austin was born in 1930 in Tiverdale,
which in those days was part of South Staffordshire. After
qualifying
as an engineer he took up a career as a lecturer based at the
University of Wolverhampton. For many years therefore his artwork
was forced into second place, but since his retirement he has been
able to devote the majority of his time to doing what he loves and
his atmospheric paintings have become highly sought-after Austin’s
richly textured, evocative compositions are created in oils with the
exclusive use of a palette knife. His primary interest is in the
countryside and rural pursuits of the Black Country, especially in
the early morning and evening, when the sun is low whether visible
or not. He includes figures to add an element of human interest as
well as a suggestion of scale. These tend to introduce a certain
lightness and almost gently humorous touch to each image. Austin’s
work has been displayed to great acclaim all across the UK. |
