‡PHILIP MUIRDEN (1932-2023) mixed media - three painting of different subjects, one titled, 'Cod Job', all three signed, all similar sizes 74 x 54cmsAuctioneers Note: Philip Muirden was born in Pembrokeshire and educated at Haverfordwest Grammar School. He went on to study at Cardiff College of Art before completing a Master’s Degree at The Royal Academy of Art. Philip became a lecturer at Mansfield College of Art from 1965 to 1972 and a Senior Lecturer at Newport College of Art from 1972 to 1991. A draughtsman of the very highest order, Philip’s drawings of marine subjects are both breath-taking and brilliant in their observation and what he described as ‘retinal experience’. There is a strong surreal element to his paintings, showing very imaginative and poetic handling with what he termed ‘considerations of surreal and social themes’. During his life as an artist Philip Muirden always avoided the production of works with a unified, pre-conceived brand image. His output contains celebrations of his ‘retinal images’, such as the wonderful fishing boat subject matter he painted. His intellectually inspired work and reflections on the human condition were frequently presented.Provenance: decreased estate, PembrokeshireComments: all three framed and glazed
