IT IS WHAT IT IS! is now part of a series originally intended to be part of a diptych. (some of the best laid plans do not turn out). So this is the first in the series, It is a study of light and colour . Lots of layers, lots of colour tones, If you look closely you can see that parts of this painting have ten or so layers of paint .In this series I am using blocks of colour instead of blends,straight lines instead of curved and geometric shapes rather than my usual morphic shapes. WHY? No idea It is what it is. Once again it is derived from a landscape. It suggests woodland with the light on the canopy and more light coming from behind the lower part of trees. I AM WHAT I AM! is the second in the series and can be purchased together with IT IS WHAT IT IS! at a discount, They are individual pieces but do look good together in the same setting.

Pesentation and Biography Brian Lockett Born in Rochdale England in 1958, I left school at the age of sixteen and headed off to Rochdale College of art and design. Although I spent two years in the sculpture department my early influences included LS Lowry of whom I felt I could relate. I crossed the pennines in 1978 bound for Leeds Polytechnic School Of Fine Art, where under the tutelage of George Hainsworth and the influence of Henry Moore, I developed as a sculptor. Graduating with a BA hons in fine art, I became recognised as one of Britain's 1980 young contemporaries, with works on view in several of Britain's major city Art galleries. I crossed the pond and did an MA at Concordia Montreal, after which Travel and Adventure became my life. By the mid 1980’s I set up a studio in Newport Beach California, earning a living silk screen printing and selling pencil drawings. The drawings were accurate representational landscape renderings, some of which found their way into several celebrities private collections. By the 1990’s I was producing prints for surfing design companies. I moved to Colorado producing and printing commercial ski related images. It wasn't until the 2000's, I returned back to Europe, I rediscovered my passion for “real art” after visiting galleries in Rome, Paris, Venice and Girona. I have developed my recent painting technique following the lines of abstract suggestion. I use the figure, object or landscape to inspire rather than represent. Colour and shapes continue to dominate my recent work. I use these to create movement depth, mood and a feeling of rhythm. My influences now include…. Picasso, Monet,Brian utenberg, George Hainsworth ( my mentor) and my “old friend” David Hockney
