BIOGRAPHY:
Born in Surrey in 1951.Since the age of 14 he studied art for about ten years under the quidance of Malcolm Domingo and Frances Lane-Mason. At the age of 24 artist decided to pursue his personal style and technique and traveled to France and England.During his many visits to France, Neal has enjoyed painting its endless variety of environs. In the French capital, he found beauty in the pathways through the city gardens and the monumental architecture within them. He followed the Seine to the sea, visiting small towns and capturing the beauty that over a century ago inspired Monet, Sisley and Pissarro; at the end of his journey, he arrived at the beaches of Normandy and Brittany, where he captured evocative scenes of life by the sea.Charles Neal is a brilliant individual with a passion for history. He approaches a painting equipped with deep knowledge of the location’s past and present, its history, prepared to see it from a perspective that captures the essence by going beyond the mere surface. Since the beginning of 1990s he exhibited in New York and London.
