Austin Moseley was born in 1930. He qualified as a Chartered Mechanical Engineer and initially worked in British industry before becoming a senior lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton.

Austin Moseley has always lived in the West Midlands and has a special affinity with the Black Country region. His strong, highly textured contemporary paintings are ideally suited to recording the people and scenes which Moseley has so carefully observed over the years.

Talking about his paintings Austin Moseley says “Most of my art work is in oils, with exclusive use of painting knives. My primary interest is in the context of the Black Country, especially at the early morning and evening times of day, when the sun is low whether visible or not. I like to include figurative images, for the purpose of points of interest and a suggestion of scale.”

The rich and positive use oil paint and the application by painting knives results in wonderfully textured contemporary paintings with an enduring appeal. Recurring subjects in Austin Moseley paintings are canal scenes or hill sides in the Dales and Lakes – all of which are enhanced with figures going about their daily lives. Moseley's paintings are very much about the present but also capture a feeling of the past. They are scenes of people living in small communities - gossiping, or walking the dog past grimy urban landscapes.
