Keith Howden:
"It was only after my retirement in 1991 that I began to paint. These earlier paintings were mainly quite conventional landscapes, industrial landscapes and still life. After perhaps eight years of painting in this way, I began to feel differently about what I wanted to do. It struck me forcibly that art had always changed and moved with the tools available to it: artists in earlier centuries were happy to use the shadowgraph, camera obscura, numerous other ways of creating the basis for an image, and the camera itself. It seemed logical to me to use digital techniques to create the type of work that I now wanted to produce. Hence, in later years I have moved towards a newer and different style. Both aspects of my work are featured in the Exhibition at Todmorden’s Platform Gallery."
