Brett Field acrylic paintings
Creating unique once-off artworks characterised by inhabitable structures and the people who inhabit them, artist Brett Field has garnered international recognition for his acrylic paintings
“From informal settlements to towering skyscrapers to container shipping vessels, my unique perspective on the urban landscape and human connection shines through in each and every piece,” says Field of his artworks which grace the walls of private residences and hotels.
Field uses a technique of acrylic paint on fine art canvas to create his architectural artworks which feature the exteriors of homes, buildings and shops in rural areas and cities.
“I’ve had a fascination with architecture for a long time but not in the traditional sense,” explains Field of his subject choice.
“I’ve always looked at a building and built a story or tale in my head about who lives there based on what I see or don’t see in the building.”
“Buildings are where we work and where we rest, where we entertain and where we are entertained, where we hide and where we heal. They are where we feel our safest and our most vulnerable. I may be sketching architecture but make no mistake, my art is about people,” says the artist.
Field’s colourful and quirky original paintings and prints are available for purchase online.
