William Brickel's Nostalgic Paintings are a London Gallery Weekend Highlight
Save to My Ocula
The Artist Room in Soho, London, have brought together a selection of paintings by William Brickel.
Two of these are rendered in watercolour on huge sheets of cotton paper, their size amplifying the emotional power of his stylised figures.
Shaded to give them a sculptural quality, and with unusual attributes like elongated limbs, Brickel’s paintings have a nostalgic quality that he emphasises to reflect the subjective nature of memory.
Born in 1994, the artist graduated with a BA in Fine Art and Photography at Camberwell College of Art, London in 2017, and completed a post-graduate programme at the Royal Drawing School in London in 2018.
The artist is based in Stroud, a town in Gloucestershire, England.
