Neil Buchanan is an internationally acclaimed artist and multi award-winning television presenter and producer. He was the creator of Art Attack - one of the most decorated programs in TV history with over thirty awards worldwide. Neil says "My proudest moment was when Art Attack won the first two BAFTAS. For an ordinary lad from Liverpool it doesn't get much better than that!" Art Attack became an international TV phenomenon and for almost twenty years Neil presented and produced the show for ITV and Disney, becoming affectionately known as 'The Art Attack Man'.
Having surpassed his lifelong ambition to create a cartoon character for Disney when the company acquired the rights to his Art Attack format, he now spends most of his time painting and exhibiting his own art and photography. Meanwhile, Neil's twenty series of Art Attack continue to air on television worldwide from Canada to Australia, China to South and Central America and all over Europe.
Over the years a number of artists have greatly influenced Neil’s art including the impressionists and post-impressionists, particularly Toulouse Lautrec. Of the more contemporary artists, Neil greatly admires Norman Rockwell, Jack Vettriano, and Andre Kohn. Neil believes that Walt Disney was the greatest ideas man that ever lived and was honoured to be asked to design an attraction for the Disneyland theme park in Paris.
