Adam Bracey

Born in 1975, and originally from the Thames estuary area of Essex, Adam Bracey graduated from the University of Brighton in 1998. After several exhibitions, he has taught Art and Photography in colleges and schools around Sussex. Evolving from a more realist ethos, his paintings have become more concerned with the properties of paint than a faithful representation of a subject. Recent paintings are about how the land masses along the British south coast are stitched together by large bridging structures, spanning tidal waters, or how nature has been harnessed by constructs. The landscape is ever changing, altered by erosion and sediment, light and seasonal shift, and the paintings aim to reflect these natural processes.
