The work of Trevor Neal can be loosely divided into four groups.
1 – Personal Work. Drawing heavily on the Antique, showing architecture, ancient interiors, exotic furniture, rendered in a manner where the effects of time and the elements have taken their toll.
2 – The Naked Human Form. In a variety of media, many of the techniques used on the substrates imply an ageing that is contradictory to the well-toned bodies of the sitters.
3 – Landscapes. Throughout the ages travel has always inspired, I am no exception, whether home or abroad I seem to see more, be more receptive to the unfamiliar.
4 – Commissioned Works. Whilst most of my collaborations in this field have been in the form of interpretative portraiture, I have often been asked to put my imagination to work on such diverse subjects as family groups, cars, boats, album sleeves for rock bands to brass bands, bathrooms, horses, interiors and exteriors.
