Neil Murison RWA

I recently purchased this painting from an online auction and will be delighted when it's fully framed and hanging on my kitchen wall. Obviously, it's an abstract form (perhaps of a figure) painted on board, using a rough, impasto technique. The work of the artist, Neil Murison, was introduced to me by a friend who lives in Bristol and who is a friend of the RWA (Royal West of England Academy). I regularly go up to Bristol and visit the galleries there with him and he has two Murison works himself, but not of this scale. The painting is quite large, so i was stunned to be able to purchase it for under £100. Murison's work usually sells for £100s and even £thousands in galleries and he has established himself as a regular fixture of the Bristol art scene calendar, particularly at the RWA. He most recognisable work is far more naturalistic, of palm trees and white sandy beaches. The more abstract works are a sideline, from what i can tell.
