Artworks by Will Claridge

I have been creating and selling art for 5 years. I am consistently inspired by the ever-changing landscape of life, the poetics of the everyday and how I can alter narratives by obscuring reality.

I graduated from Falmouth University with a BA in Fine Art. My work reflects contemporary culture through its innovative blend of photography, painting and installation. Fascinated by themes of banality, the quotidian and the everyday, the power of my art lies in its ability to change focus; altering the perspective by subverting the conventional focal point. What do we see when our vision is obstructed, when the abstract crashes in on the figurative, when the blur of an out of focus photograph demands our undivided attention? Finishing my original photographic works with hand-applied, tactile details, my artworks are out of the ordinary: these poetic snapshots aim to both intrigue and frustrate the viewer whilst maintaining a visually arresting and compelling aesthetic.
