William Brickel, 1994
William Brickel (b. 1994) is an artist who lives and works in London, UK. Brickel graduated with a BA in Fine Art and Photography at Camberwell College of Art, London in 2017 and completed a post-graduate program at the Royal Drawing School in London in 2018.
Brickel's paintings examine the ways that memory reshapes past experiences, using techniques of bodily exaggeration and distortion to reflect the impossibility of objective truth within our recollections and interactions with others. Blending the physical with the psychological, Brickel probes the relationship between reality and subjectivity. In his work Brickel draws upon the broad, flat realism of British painters of the interwar period, such as Stanley Spencer, Edward Burra and Winifred Knight.
