Brandon Seedhouse (b. 1995) is an English/Irish artist based on the Sussex coast. He received a Bachelor of Fine Art in 2021 from Kingston School of Art and has since had work displayed in shows throughout the UK, America, and Asia. Notable institutions and galleries that have both shown and acquired his work are, Awagami Hall, Phoenix Gallery, Pratt Institute New York, Stanley Picker Gallery, Woolwich Contemporary, Royal Academy of Arts, Southbank Centre, & Tate Modern.

His prints and paintings have also been featured on the BBC, Pressing Matters Magazine, world of Interiors, and Artsy.

With a practice rooted in painting and printmaking methodology, he draws upon influences from 1960’s counterculture, Zen Buddhist philosophy, Japanese aesthetics and the natural world, exploring themes on experience, sensory translations, memory and time. Examining 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.
