Ben Brotherton
Living in France and inspired by the French Masters like Cézanne, Corot and Matisse, Ben Brotherton's paintings are about the painted surface, space and light. Thanks to his warm, richly evocative palette, there is depth and presence to his work – with layers of colour, tone, pattern and texture, these beautifully distilled paintings feel tranquil and calm. Having initially established a reputation for his atmospheric ‘en plein air’ French landscapes, Ben has since turned his attention to still life paintings, with these bold colourist studies offering a natural progression in style.
