BILL ALDRIDGE - ARTIST

Welcome to My Website (last update 6 February 2012). 

I have recently entered one of my more abstract compositions, 3x3 Raw Umber, for the John Moores Biennale. My work is increasingly inspired by British Modern painters such as Patrick Heron and others.

Nov 2011

Inspired by the wonderful gardens in Marrakech designed by Jacques Majorelle, I created this watercolour abstract.

Jan 2012

My self portrait, 'End of the Year of the Tiger' completed in 2011, is about facing up to the challenges of aging. The Tiger year, one of the 12 zodiac signs in the Chinese calendar, is a turbulant time. The latest Tiger year ended in early 2011.  The poster in the background shows Hokkusai's 'Tiger in a Snowstorm' painted in 1849 

The oil painting below, of Hungerford Bridge, was recently shown at the Bankside Gallery.
