Brandon Seedhouse (b. 1995, Halifax, West Yorkshire) is an English/Irish artist based on the Sussex Coast. Drawing upon influences from 1960’s counterculture, Zen Buddhist philosophy, Japanese aesthetics and the natural world. He explores themes on experience, sensory translations, memory and time.

With a practice rooted in painting and printmaking methodology, he explores relationships between environment, material, language, and gesture. The work is a response to his own personal encounters and experiences in the external world and the internal processing that occurs afterwards.
Once in the studio, these encounters and experiences are subjected to filtering, translation, and abstraction. He creates marks which undulate, stain or spread on canvas, which are then manipulated by pulling, pressing, tearing, and stitching. Through the processes of construction, deconstruction, layering, recycling and sampling, he is acknowledging how our experiences and memories are not always directly as that moment but rather an amalgamation of factual and false histories.
In Zen Buddhism, everything in existence is within a state of flux, evolving into something entirely new, or dissolving into nothingness. Element/fragmentations of these encounters and experiences are extracted and synthesised into images, objects and installations to capture, visualise, and advance on the existence of them.
