Neil Carroll
A Journey of Self-Taught Mastery in Oil Painting
Neil Carroll, a London-based artist, has followed a non-traditional path in pursuing his passion for painting. Although life commitments delayed his artistic journey, Neil never lost his desire to create. Since 2011, he has been working with oils, and in 2017, he transitioned into a full-time artist, fulfilling his lifelong ambition.
Artistic Recognition and Development
In 2014, one of Neil's oil paintings was selected for the prestigious Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London. This recognition marked a significant milestone in his artistic career, spurring further exploration of his personal style.
Artistic Approach and Style
Neil’s art is driven by the desire to convey atmosphere and emotion rather than a literal representation of his subject matter. He intentionally strips away detail, allowing mood and instinct to guide his brushstrokes. His style is defined by broad, expressive movements that create compelling and atmospheric pieces, emphasising feeling over form.
