Anthony Priddle

The Artist

Anthony Priddle was trained as an Architect and was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Architectural Studies at Newcastle University and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Architecture at Bristol University. He went on to become a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects and a Registered Architect. He practiced in London, Boston USA and Bristol and then founded a successful architectural practice in Gloucestershire.

His passion for painting, which was predominant in his pre-university days, has lain semi-dormant for many years, when his artistic expression was principally directed to his architecture. Recently he has revitalised the desire to paint and has periodically attended summer schools at the Slade School of Art. He is currently undertaking a full time Post Graduate Diploma in Fine Art at Central St Martins (Byam Shaw) in London.

The work shown in this portfolio has chiefly been generated over the last five years, but recent additions represent his transitional work as he dedicates ever-increasing time to his artwork. Most of the paintings are in oil on canvas. He also continues to practice in architecture with the support of practice colleagues.
