Botting is a rare artistic talent, even within the huge and very competitive
London art scene.
Since his
exhibition with us in 1999 he has gone on to bigger and better things.
He has been
the Invited Artist at the New English Art Club exhibition,
an award winner
at The Royal Institute of Oil Painters,
was Highly Commended at the BP Portrait
Awards and was the MCC’s official
artist for the 2001 cricket tour of
Pakistan.
Lucky for us
he likes to occasionally escape the Northern winter and visit Perth.
These works were painted, on site from the
subject, even the large works.
Botting believes this “en plein air”
approach is the best way to capture the essence of his subject.
