Rare Swiss Air Force art prints by aviation artist
Philip West
Philip West is recognised as one of
the worlds finest aviation artists. Collectors of his original oil paintings
span the globe, many waiting patiently for his next breathtaking canvas to
appear. With some one hundred and eight limited editions behind him, a waiting
list of commissioned paintings for clients both existing and new, and a head
full of ideas for new limited edition prints, life is never dull for this
Wiltshire based artist! Self-taught, after years of painting pictures for
friends and relatives, Philip took the plunge and became a full-time
professional artist. Since then he has developed a very loyal and expanding
for both his original paintings and prints. Whilst jets, and Phantoms in
particular, light Philips fire, he is also a master painter of piston-engined
classics; being renowned for his rendition of Avro Lancasters and Supermarine
Spitfires. Philip is also one of the few artists to also enthusiastically
paint pictures of Fleet Air Arm aircraft. Philips knowledge of aircraft and
the accuracy of his work combine to record a moment in history so perfectly,
that both collectors and admirers of his work are able to feel a real sense of
the excitement and drama that his work portrays.
