Duncan Bond
Weaving together influences from British landscapes and South Asian experiences, artist Duncan Bond captures the delicate relationship between people and their environments through his observant brushstrokes.

Duncan is a painter drawing mainly of landscapes and the people that move amongst them. Having a figurative approach he paints directly from what he sees but also can develop compositions from drawings and photos when based in the studio.
Born in Nottingham in 1958, Duncan left school with an “A” level in Art, however work took him into the world of agriculture both in the UK and in Sri Lanka. Many years after leaving school it was back to studying for a BTEC in design and that was followed by a BA in Fine Art at Sheffield Art College, now part of Sheffield Hallam University.
Duncan continued to paint in Sheffield, joining several group exhibitions, but ended up back in Sri Lanka working with the International Red Cross with activities linked to the protection of victims of conflict.
Having retired he now spends his time focusing on his art activities both here and in South Asia.
