Lawrie Quigley

Lawrie’s main specialism is in painting both oils and acrylics having studied many years ago at the Royal Academy of Art and through the guidance of the late Peter Greenham

His subject matter centres around the main themes of British and European painting over the past 150 years, being mainly concerned with landscapes, still life and the figure.

He exhibits regularly in both London and regional contemporary art galleries up and down the country and his work is held in numerous collections both in the UK and abroad, including The Contemporary Art Society, Welsh Arts Council, Leeds University and Sir Hugh Casson collection.

Lawrie is also a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition and many of the exhibitions at the Mall Galleries, including The New English Art Club, Royal Society of British Artists and Royal Institute of Oil Painters.

Having taught for many years at a variety of levels, his demonstration/presentations always endeavour to find artist references relating to the subject, technique or process being used – as he  believes an understanding of the contextual influences around any creative activity is essential to fully comprehend the objectives and intentions when making artworks.
