Roger Cecil
in the studio
I came across Roger Cecil’s work around ten years ago when a friend suggested I take a look. It immediately felt like finding a long lost friend, his paintings really spoke to me.
He used a lot of household materials in his work and that’s what first got me into using tar (bitumen) in my work through learning about his process.
His abstract paintings reflect a profound connection to the Welsh landscape and industrial heritage. What makes Cecil especially compelling is how he maintained a fiercely personal style, working in isolation and resisting the commercial art world to preserve the integrity of his vision. I have a profound respect for him as an artist. His art feels both intimate and universal, drawing you in and inviting quiet reflection.
