Roger Aslin RI British

In parallel to a previous career in the music industry, working for a major
international record label, Roger Aslin has also consistently produced
visual and written work. His practice explores two key areas – the figure
and the urban environment – and is influenced by his continuing interest
in film and television.

His key focus, through the medium of painting and photography, is how
people interact with the contemporary environment. “I show urban life in
dramatic colour and shade by using a highly contrasting palette to
additionally emphasise shape and form”.

As a modern-day observer of city life his work takes him into the city
where he takes images on camera or phone, later to be refined and honed
digitally in the studio before commencing painting on paper, board or
canvas.

An earlier solo show in London ‘Urban Narratives’ was followed by an
online solo exhibition ‘The City Revealed’ – he also has a history of
showing in various group exhibitions, both in the UK and the US,
including the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize and the ING Discerning Eye
Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London.

He is an elected member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water
Colours (RI) where he exhibits annually at the Mall Galleries.
