Fletcher Sibthorp
Born in Hertfordshire, England, in 1967, contemporary figurative artist Fletcher Sibthorp has had a highly successful painting career since graduating from Kingston University in 1989. Widely recognised for his balletic explorations of the human form, Fletcher produces modern dance and portrait works which explore movement and its subsequent effects on the body.

Fletcher’s recent quiet paintings capture moments of introspection and frailty, merging technical aspects of classical oil painting and modern aesthetics. Dominant themes in these portraits include an exploration of light, texture, and figure, which come together to form subtle yet mesmerising artistic narratives.

The artist shapes his work around traditional and contemporary practices, incorporating a process of disruptive, expressive mark-making and classical painting techniques. His approach involves a gradual layering of paint and texture to observe the infinite smallness and bigness of things and celebrate the music of chance. His expressionistic paintings spring from serendipitous applications of paint, sand, wax and precious metals.
