معرفی
Roger Healey-Dilkes is an artist and part-time tutor for the Future Creatives program at University of the Arts London (UAL), specializing in short courses for children and young people aged 7-17 in art, design, and fashion.
His educational background includes:
- Degree in Sculpture
- Art College training
- MA from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London
Healey-Dilkes' artistic practice centers on material exploration, utilizing non-traditional media such as plasterboard, found materials, and discarded paint colors to create abstract works that exist outside conventional art frameworks. His methodology involves mastering building trades like plastering to manipulate industrial materials into expressive forms, emphasizing the intrinsic identity of each piece rather than representational intent.
As an educator, he champions art's societal importance, highlighting how creative industries generate economic value comparable to banking while fostering diverse cultural expression. He advocates for experiential learning through constant experimentation, urging students to 'draw draw draw, all day long' without fixation on outcomes, and leverages digital platforms like Instagram to democratize artistic inspiration for new generations.
