 Andrew Dibben studied Fine Art at Norwich School of Art, gaining the Diploma in Art & Design in 1972. After this, he stayed in Norfolk, and worked in a number of occupations, painting in his spare time, until becoming a full-time professional artist in 1989. He paints marine and landscape subjects, working mainly in watercolour, with occasional work in oil, charcoal, and pastel.
Over the last 20 years, the artist’s work has varied from very detailed topographical views of Norfolk, to expansive paintings of the wilder parts of the county, verging on abstraction at times. He has also produced paintings of the west coast of Scotland, as well as other areas he has visited.
A number of the artist’s paintings have been published as prints, which, together with originals, have sold in 30 countries worldwide. He has exhibited with the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, The Mall Galleries, London, the Society of Graphic Fine Arts, and has had work selected for hanging in the Laing Competition. He has had paintings reproduced in the periodical “International Artist”, and in books published by them. He has staged one-man exhibitions in Britain and in France.
The British shipping giant P&O Cruises has commissioned Dibben to produce a number of paintings, which hang aboard some of their ships, as well as their offices. Another major client is Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines. In 1996, Dibben designed the cover for the best selling book “The Liners”, which accompanied the Channel 4 TV series.
The book “Andrew Dibben’s Norfolk Watercolour Landscapes”, with Foreword by Dame Norma Major, was published to great acclaim by Halsgrove in 2002, and was reprinted a year later. A second volume, from the same publisher, “Norfolk Waterscapes” was published at the end of October 2005, with a Foreword by writer and broadcaster Keith Skipper.
Dibben was a finalist in a landscape competition run by the magazine “International Artist”, which subsequently published an 8-page feature on his work in the Dec 2008 / Jan 2009 issue.
