Derek watkins

Derek Watkins, an accomplished contemporary portrait painter, was born in London, England, in the year 1957. Presently residing in Southsea, England, Derek has earned a reputation for his innovative prowess within the realm of art. His primary artistic focus centres on the portrayal of iconic music, film, and sporting legends, delving into the intricate interplay between their external facades and internal vulnerabilities. Renowned for his deft utilisation of acrylic paintings, Derek has developed a unique technique characterised by the delicate layering of vibrant hues, notably employing shades of purple, mint green, and blue, thus creating a contemporary modern imagery that skilfully captures the essence of expressive human features.

Derek's Journey

Derek's artistic journey has been punctuated by numerous accomplishments and recognitions, with his work showcased in prestigious exhibitions around the world. Notably, his creations took centre stage at the 2023 Sizzle Summer Exhibition hosted by the Yellow Edge Gallery in Gosport, England. Additionally, his talent garnered attention at the Surrey Art Fair held in Esher, England, and the Windsor Art Fair situated in the historic Royal Windsor, England. Beyond these exhibitions, Derek's captivating pieces have found their rightful place within the private collections of art enthusiasts from both national and international spheres. Thus, Derek Watkins stands as an artist whose profound exploration of the human condition through his unique visual language has secured his indelible mark in the contemporary art landscape.
