Crispin Dior
A winter of discontent in 1987 saw Dior leave Norwich School of Art prematurely to pursue a life in music. Thirty years later, his career came to an abrupt end, compromised by sudden deafness. Recognising the need for creatives to create, Dior enrolled at London's Essential School of Painting. The love affair with paint had become full circle. An immediate identification of ‘the self’ and direction followed, armed with the knowledge of a life well-lived. Much of his influence comes from the 'London Set' of the late 20th Century: Freud, Bacon, Hamilton, Kitaj, Andrews and Hockney.
