Adam Bridgland

Adam Bridgland is an interdisciplinary artist and printmaker who exposes the nuances and humour of the British identity. Instilled with a clear sense of nostalgia, Adam’s work combines typography and graphic art to comment on the ingrained patterns of the British behaviour. He creates work that resembles kitsch postcards, children’s colouring books and old-fashioned posters in its refined and direct approach. Adam reimagines the role of slogans, and positions them as ironic comments that reveal the peculiarity to be found in the everyday. Exploring themes of hilarity and hypocrisy, Adam’s art is probing and witty.
