Fletcher Sibthorp is a contemporary figurative artist whose work infuses technical aspects of traditional oil painting with a modern aesthetic.
Predominantly a figurative representational painter, I aim to capture the intricate emotions of everyday life through a unique blend of influences like film, photography, and classic art. InfTextusing traditional oil painting with more expressive mark making, I delve into themes of urban isolation and voyeurism, exploring the thin line between public and private life, inviting viewers to find beauty in the quiet, often overlooked moments.
"I'm fascinated by the figure and placing them in an abstract space and from these simple elements create a narrative. I like to think when people view my work they project onto it their own personal experience and emotions, creating their own story."
WHAT OTHERS SAY
I have really enjoyed working with Fletcher on several pieces. He understands the lines the dancer is trying to achieve instinctively. He is able to portray those lines, great physicality and movement in his painting.
I am very proud to have a painting of me by Fletcher Sibthorp hanging at the RBS, White Lodge.
