•
Born in Eastbourne in 1957.
• Studied Graphic Design at Bath Academy of Art.
After graduating Quentin worked for an advertising/design company to fulfill his ambitions to work in design. He left the advertising world after just two weeks on realising that he wanted to work free from commercial restraint. In 1982 he set up a screen press in his flat and became a printmaker.
During his early years as an artist/screen printer, he produced many sought after editions and posters which are among collections around the world. His work has often been used in film and television backdrops.
In 1991 Quentin established Harwood King Fine Arts, a silkscreen editioning house, now reknowned throughout the world for producing some of the finest silkscreen prints.
Quentin is currently working on a new range of abstract prints strong in colour and design. Although principally interested in silkscreen printing, Quentin’s recent work has shown an enthusiasm for experimenting in different media, including etching and carborundum. The inspiration for Quentin’s work using carborundum is much more philosophical than concrete. In all of his works Quentin is attempting to create a visual interpretation of an abstract thought. These thoughts include friendship, reaching personal goals, and politics, he uses the relationship between sea and land as a metaphor for concrete actions and abstract thoughts be they for hope and dreams or politics.
