Duggie Fields - 1980.
source
Duggie was born in Wiltshire, 1945. As a child, it was established at an early age, that art was his calling. With this, he found himself enrolling at Chelsea School Of Art in 1964. Exploring many creative pathways such as; minimalism and conceptualism. Fields, finally settled in the realm of post modernism. Fields main influences drew from the likes of; Jackson Pollock, Mondrian and Stand Lee, all of which are evident idols of the artist in each piece of his work.
I believe Duggie is relevant to the U.K as he delivers work that is sharp and witty. Elements, I feel set the foundation of Britain.
Fields, is mostly relevant to me, as throughout his creative journey, he has never taken art to seriously. Personally, keeping art fun and less immersed in deep connotative structures allows for something far more interesting to take form.
What I also find interesting about Duggie, is how experimental his approach to art can be. I thoroughly identify with this method, as I like to see this particular process as a way of finding happy mistakes through trial and error. In Fields biography, he mentions experimenting with painting outside and allowing the wind to change the direction of the paint on the canvas.
I feel Duggie is as fundamental to Myself and British Art, as Candy Floss is to Zippos Circus.
