According to the artis himself, Bell draws inspiration from the "30 years he has lived an worked on the Northumberland coast in England and now in the Wilds of Redesdale near the Scottish borders".
Still fascinatedby patterns of sand on the beach,piles of seaweed/driftwood order and chaos together the images BellI creates emply a wide variety of materials, sand soil,coaldust,driftwoodare often embedded in paint surface. Desiring an intense naturalism in his work Bell rarely uses brush, more often usingfinger,knife,trowel,sand ,plaster,spray paints plus lots of builders materials to create impasto paint surfaces.
