OIL PAINTING FINE ART PRINT BY KEVIN AUSTIN

A nostalgic fine art print collection, which is retrospectively presented as original oil paintings. "With all of my paintings I've tried to tell an instantly recognisable, but important story. My aim is to transport the viewer to that time and place, complete with accurate detail. I also try to capture scenes with no pictorial records." - Kevin Austin

Hand signed by artist. Size A3.


P01 - Let Me Take You Down to . . . Strawberry Field . . . Impressions.
Perhaps an abstract meditation on the reasoning behind the song ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’. In a strawberry dusk, a figure, John maybe, has crept through the audacious, ornate gates and escaped into a tree-limb symbolic fantasy in the grounds of Strawberry Field children’s home. Nothing, even the undeniable, unflinching existence of the children’s home, with its one welcoming light, is real.

Liverpool is the Hometown of Artist Kevin Austin who grew up at the same time as the Beatles and lived in the same area during the early years of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

In the artists words…My Artwork… It’s about my Passion.

From age 3 as an only child, I always had a pencil in my hand drawing anything which caught my attention… people, cars, buildings, animals.

I feel privileged to have lived in that period and especially living in the same area as John Lennon and Paul McCartney, where we used to hang out in many of the same places and travelling on the same buses and trams. With a number of my paintings I’ve tried to interpret perhaps the thoughts of a young John Lennon living and playing with his friends which were so very similar to my own playing in grounds of the many huge houses in Liverpool as with Strawberry Field Children’s Home.
