Denys Delhanty comments in the RWA Members questionnaire of October 2000 that after the Second World War he painted landscape in a romantic manner….he writes that during the 1970's…..
'I introduced collage into my painting until it eventually became my main method of working. I paint and make marks in a variety of media, on paper, cloth and card and find unexpected starting points for the construction and exploration of visual experience and mood. I like to explore the tension between architectural and organic forms and play with colour and shape. I find that the medium provides both a discipline and a sense of freedom.'
