Biographical Note:

Colin Kent was born in London where he studied both architecture and painting. After working as an architect for a number of years he began to establish himself as a landscape painter with a rare feeling for qualities of light and tone which he managed to convey with a remarkable subtlety and sureness of touch - his main sources of inspiration being coastal and inland locations of East Anglia. In recent years he has developed these qualities by encompassing in his work a range of subject matter and use of materials - combinations of ink, gouache, acrylic and watercolour, and a freer more intuitive use of colour add to the dramatic quality of the paintings, as well as enhancing the texture and delicate tonal values which distinquish his oeuvre. Colin Kent was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours in 1971 and continues to exhibit regularly. He lives and works in Essex.
