Listed Artist Wilfred Glyndon May
W. G. MAY 1922 - 2010, (Wilfred Glyndon May BSc FICE)W. G. May was a self-taught watercolourist who also worked sometimes in pastels, crayons or oils. His greatest influences were Sir W. Russell Flint, of whose technique he made a lifelong study. Russell Flint's fluid watercolours and exotic nudes inspire many of May's nude figure paintings, but the artist also specialised in clothed figures - particularly female dancers - and portraits. The occasional flower study, landscape or still life also finds a place among his work.May attained his Civil Engineering degree at University College, London in 1943, after which he became an officer in the Royal Engineers for the remainder of the Second World War, stationed in North Africa. He then worked for the WS Atkins Group until 1981, when he retired in order to become a full-time artist. He exhibited in galleries in the Epsom and Dorking area, and served for several years as Chairman of the Epsom Art Group, whose exhibitions are held at Bourne Hall, Ewell. In his home village of Tadworth he was influential in the amateur art world, as an inspirational art tutor and leader of outdoor painting expeditions.
