Born 28 October 1972
Colin Willey’s work is about light and it’s effects. He is excited by the way objects are transformed by light and how light continually changes from moment to moment. His aim is to capture these ‘moments’ in the permanent record of paint. Colin works spontaneously producing responses to the subject that are fresh and lively and filled with light and atmosphere.
