Versonic Art

My Name is Michael Aitken. b.1951. I was born in Bloxwich. I  went to Walsall Art  School in Goodall Street for a year in 1969. I now live in Limehouse, East London. In 2001 I was awarded a Millennium Lifetime Fellowship Award for an art project, "Charlie Brown and Chinatown", which consisted of paintings based on local history plus research work and interviews. 

I create paintings in oil, of a social nature usually; but picking on semi-abstraction, fauvist colour, expressionism, surrealist imagery, and pop art sensibilities to work with; also you will find landscape and figurative work.
