Neil Horsefield

Neil Horsefield's studio practice is contemporary fine art painting, he is a Master of Fine Art, a graduate of Cambridge School of Art.

Neil's work explores theories of Language and Translation by making work that explores how we negotiate or daily experience via a personal paradigm of portable and fluid content, context and perspectives. The images intertwine remembered and negotiated themes, they create a juncture or place where new narratives can be formed, transferring the agency of an image to the viewer exploiting the idea that "creative opportunities lye in a bad translation". This theoretical position is an echo of 17th century linguist Martin Luther, specifically that we only successfully translate into our own language. This is central to the current studio work and the contemporary themes of "nowness" and aspects of social anthropology.
