Since leaving the Royal College of Art in 1984 to pursue a career as a designer in the television and the music industries, Jim Brogden has been able to continue to develop his professional fine art practice, selling paintings and prints to numerous private collectors in the UK and France.
Over the last 10 years, he has produced a large body of work exploring the coastline of England (from Ravenscar to St Just in North Cornwall), in relation to the notions of memory, erosion, loss, and liminality. More recently, his PhD research art practice ‘Terra Nullius: Landscapes of Guilt’ has investigated those environments which are often viewed culturally as ‘derilict’ or in the process of being ‘regenerated’- the terra nullius of motorway embankments,
traffic islands, business parks, and the more general post-industrial landscape.
An online archive of Jim Brogden’s paintings, drawings, digital prints, artist books, photography, time-based work and writings, will be shown on his two websites
opening in spring 2006 www.jimbrogden.com and www.terranullius.co.uk
