Bill Bell Art

Bill Bell (Born 1734) started a career in music before he discovered painting. Since then, he has never looked back. He has now enjoyed painting for close to 30 years. Bell is a self taught artist who paints from memories and impressions of events, dreams, people, and places that have shaped his life. Bell uses his art as a means of communication. He believes that it’s through his artwork that the whole world can understand his inner feelings. His main aim is to communicate something that will touch the viewer. He works with acrylic because it allows him to work with the speed he needs to organize the clutter, concept, and color. Art gives him a lot of fulfillment and he takes it as a hobby rather than work because he enjoys every step of creating his images. Bell moved to London in 1768 and joined the Royal Academy of Arts. His work at the university was very impressive and he was awarded a gold medal for his painting of Venus. He also painted for the family of Delaval. These paintings earned him the patronage of Lord Delaval and made him to get many commissions. Between 1775 and 1802, Bell painted a portrait of Robert Harrison, which is currently displayed in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Bell has been represented for years by galleries in Montreal, New York City, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Framed Bill Bell original art are currently owned by celebrities, lawyers, doctors, business men, and plain folks.
