Victor Lunn-Rockliffe

Digital images, drawing, mixed media, painting, printmaking

Victor Lunn-Rockliffe works mainly on paper in a variety of styles and media (graphite, pen and ink, watercolour, charcoal, pastels, acrylic, monoprints and metal point).

Victor has drawn all his life and started to work seriously as an artist after he retired in 2006. He has illustrated a number of books, done work for not for profit organisations and had commissions from major companies to devise imagery to help simplify and communicate complex business issues.

His commercial work combined humour and imagination to engage the audience in subjects that would otherwise be ignored or regarded as too difficult. Today, he is mainly drawing from everyday life, people in action, portraits, landscapes, travels and scenes from imagination.

In recent years he has been exploring the potential of panoramas to provide a more immersive experience than traditional formats. This led him to start in 2017 on a project of drawing nearly every day on a continuous “Living Scroll” of chronologically linked 10 metre lengths of paper. At the time of writing he has reached the 850 metre mark (around 2000 drawings). Victor has a self-imposed rule that he cannot cut up or edit what goes down on the scroll. The scroll is a single work of art and is not for sale. However it has in the course of its creation spun off separate works, including  monoprints of local scenes which are being offered for sale.
