Born in Bradford and educated at Bradford’s Regional College of Art, Dennis Wood originally trained as a graphic designer before discovering his talent as an abstract artist.

Wood comments, “Whilst at Bradford Art College I learned how to use alternative forms of art and how to think in an abstract way. I learned to eliminate detail and to apply abstract principles to almost anything. My aim is to stimulate vision rather than simply satisfy established conventions of taste.

A typical day for me is to just paint and paint - I paint until I drop. If I’m on form and I’m painting well I will paint maybe for 20 hours non-stop - I always know when to paint and when not to. I never plan a painting; I just start out, explore the options and go for it.“

Wood’s artwork is available as originals on canvas and also published as limited edition prints. His work can be seen in many collections throughout Europe, Canada and the USA.

The Colomb Art Gallery is proud to exhibit work from the British artist Dennis Wood. View all art by Dennis Wood
