Nathan Ford is a painter in demand. His portraits and landscapes have received critical acclaim and he was awarded first prize from the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Winsor & Newton Young Artist of the Year Award in 2001, 2003 and 2010 and second prize in 1999 and 2000. He was awarded Visitors Choice 2nd Prize at the National Portrait Gallery BP awards in 2011. His work is very atmospheric, with an economy of marks he creates powerful and evocative imagery. His work explores portraiture, landscape and still life, but all with an unmistakeable style.
