Statement
Tony Broadbent has had a varied life which is reflected in his work. As a self taught artist that has been painting for 40 years, his primary interests are colour and form, along with abstract representation.
His current series 'Art in the rain ' is inspired by the general malaise of 2007/8 when it rained both summers and was instrumental in channelling the delayed grief felt over the death of his mother from bowel cancer in 2006.
Following this, 2008 - 2011 included various open exhibitions, charity events, making donations and renewing the love of painting in a more positive and selfish manner, as well as getting involved with other artists and generally appreciating ' doing' the art first and foremost.
Since april 2012 he has been working in a very large Studio which is allowing the exploration of old styles and development into new areas.
