Inside the Artist’s Studio | Tim Benson PROI NEAC RP

Members of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters offer a rare glimpse into their studios.

Tim Benson PROI NEAC RP, President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and member of the New English Art Club and Royal Society of Portrait Painters

Educated at Glasgow School of Art and Byam Shaw School of Art, Tim has received recognition with his election as President of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. As a practised figurative artist Tim not only creates a distinguishable likeness of a subject but moreover evokes the sitter’s character and mood. He is never satisfied with simple representation, rather concentrating on bringing to his work an emotive and often visceral quality.
