Will teather - Hardcover

"Teather's works frequently wrenches us back and forth through time and style; As we are shifted between romanticism and classicism we are left entranced, entertained and certainly captivated by the uncertainties." Neil Powell, Academic/ curator British artist Will Teather's paintings and drawings often depict curious characters caught up in uncanny situations. Influenced by magical-realism and lifting motifs from diverse sources such as Flemish still life, baroque art and Weimar painters, the artist enters into direct conversation with the history of painting with the aim of bringing a contemporary sensibility to the table. The book includes over 100 high quality reproductions of the artist's work, a biography by art critic Ian Collins, 2 essays by leading academics and an interview with the artist. Teather has featured in exhibitions and publications internationally, receiving numerous grants, awards and scholarships. He has been awarded spells as Artist-in-Residence for venues in New York, Aberdeen and Norwich, Norfolk. Work is held in public and private collections in the UK and overseas.

Neil Powell is the author of biographies on George Crabbe, Benjamin Britten, and Kingsley and Martin Amis, as well as seven collections of poetry. He has contributed to numerous journals and newspapers, including "The Guardian" and "The Times Literary Supplement". Powell now lives in Aldeburgh, where Britten lived for the last thirty years of his life.
