Fine Art Magazine September Edition

N E W R E L E A S E Based on photographs taken by himself and his son, Colin’s hypnotic images create a remarkable sense of closeness to the animal in question. He believes that the eyes should always be the focus of any life study so this feature is always very real, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to engage with the subject. There is also a strong sense of narrative running throughout; these animals have a story to tell, of past adventures and uncertain futures. Colin is a committed conservationist and his concerns about endangered species add a frisson of empathy and authenticity to each piece. B Y C O L I N B A N K S AS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING AND INNOVATIVE ARTISTS OF HIS GENERATION, COLIN HAS A PASSION FOR EXOTIC WILDLIFE WHICH IS POWERFULLY EXPRESSED IN HIS FIRST UK RELEASE, A STRIKING AND DYNAMIC PAIR OF ANIMAL PORTRAITS.
