Art: Lady of Paris by Adam De Ville
In the artist’s words:
My work explores the themes of displacement and belonging, character and scene, using mixed media. I explore and subvert traditional storytelling narratives of start, middle, end and set up, conflict, resolve. I like the viewer create their own journey with the work. My background includes drama: acting, devising and writing, which is currently fueling my artwork.
I have been a professional artist for three years, having sold across the UK and internationally, and showing at Store Street Gallery London, Lilford Gallery Canterbury, Flux international exhibition, Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Parallax fair London.
