Nell Brookfield
Nell Brookfield (b. 1994, London) currently works and lives in
London. Brookfield offers humorous and bizarre compositions
taken from her everyday experiences. Inspired by people
around London, films, and books, Nell paints from observation,
memory and imagination with acrylic and oil paint on linen.
Unexpected crops show intimate sections of what could be
larger works, asking the viewer to imagine what might lie just
beyond the composition. Each work is covered in detailed
patterns and texture, accentuating the charged moments.
Nell hopes the viewer will consider what it would be like to
reach out and touch the fabrics she paints, or exist within the
work.
Nell Brookfield completed her postgraduate in Drawing from the Royal Drawing School in 2018 and received her BSc in Anthropology from UCL in 2017. Between 2019 and 2020, Nell studied Drawing and Painting at the Pratt Institute in New York. She was awarded a residency at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2018.
