William Campbell
Artist William Campbell introduces the tools of his trade as he paints for Ulster Television’s cameras
Overview
Join disabled artist William Campbell in Studio 10 10 to discover the inspiration behind his expressive oil paintings. Watch his painting technique as he creates a sarcastic scene of a dystopian London using specially adapted brushes. He also discusses the symbolism of several works we don’t see in these Ulster Television rushes.
These rushes are from Spectrum, a fortnightly programme on Ulster Television that brought Northern Irish arts matters to a local audience for half an hour from 1971-1988. This material is courtesy of the UTV archive.
