Keith Woodcock...Artist
Keith Woodcock is an artist with a fascination for anything aeronautical, understandable as there were always aviation magazines, books and models close at hand during Keith's childhood at their family home in Yorkshire, England. Visits to airshows, races and airfields within cycling distance were all part of Keith Woodcock's growing up. After completing his education at his local Grammar School, Keith was initially employed as a draughtsman and technical illustrator but later diversified into advertising art and design, studying at Salford College of Art, Manchester.
In the late 60s Keith Woodcock started his freelance career, undertaking graphic design and illustration for many national and international clients whilst producing occasional drawings and illustrations for aviation publishers. Eventually, however, Keith decided to devote all his energies and talents to painting aviation subjects on a full-time basis.
Since then Keith Woodcock has become one of Britain's most respected artists in this field, exhibiting widely in the U.K., Europe and America, winning numerous awards for his work. A "Par Excellence" at Oshkosh, USA was followed by the prestigious "Aviation Painting of the Year" award at the Guild of Aviation Artists Annual London Exhibition in 1986 and "Best Oil Painting" at the same exhibition three years later.
Atmosphere, accuracy and authenticity, the latter often demanding extensive research, are the key areas where Keith Woodcock excels. His paintings have received much critical acclaim with many examples being hung in the permanent collections of museums, Service establishments, aerospace companies and private individuals worldwide.
A full member of the Guild of Aviation Artists (he is currently the Chairman), Keith Woodcock is also an elected Artist Fellow of the American Society of Aviation Artists and a full member of the Guild of Motoring Artists, this reflecting his other area of interest.
