WELCOME!
My name is Will, a contemporary artist based in Essex/Suffolk. I overpaint my own film photography with acrylic paint, inks/pens and spray paint. Every piece I create is a one-off original artwork.
I am fascinated by themes of banality in the everyday. The power lies in the 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?’
I am consistently open to commissions, where you can request for a location to be captured or have your own personal photos overpainted. A great way to turn your memories into bespoke art. Click on the button below to reach out and get started.
‘Will Claridge proves that there is beauty to be found all around us, even in the most mundane of scenes. His intriguing approach to mixed media photography obscures the reality of the subject, causing the viewer to step back and reconsider’ - Rise Art Insider 2022
