My name is Thomas Peter Walpole, I am a pHd student at the Slade School of Fine Art in Bloomsbury. I am writing my thesis about the Works of Neglected British Artists whose oeuvres have, for various reasons, been locked out of the public eye. I have strong links with the county of Suffolk and have conducted extensive research into the history of the local art scene, including artists who originate from the area whose works have appeared in other parts of the world, yet are still widely unknown. I published my postgraduate dissertation on the artist Aston Ernest whose conceptual works exhibited at shows such as ART ALDEBURGH and South Look Out in Suffolk in the 70s appear to precede the works of artists such as Liam Gillick and Michael Craig Martin. I have published research into the artist and avant-garde printmaker Abbe Faria (b. Johann Rietveld) who spent much of his life in Suffolk, despite having strong links with the German art scene, collaborating with artists such as Gerhardt Richter.
