He was a member of the Norwich Twenty Group. . His paintings often
depict the faded areas of Chelsea and Fulham as well as Brighton.
He uses strong draughtsmanship and restrained colour to capture
the atmosphere of particular locations. "I have always been interested
in Urban landscape and seascape. This has been the subject matter
of my work for most of my life. The buildings in question are painted
as I see them, although this may sometimes produce architectural
changes for the sake of the painting - although almost photographic
in concept I try to base them on sound principle of abstract design.
An important part of the paintings are the figures which are stylised
and simplified to suit the painting in question" Brian Hagger's
