Biography – Gail Brodholt
Gail Brodholt is a leading painter and printmaker of contemporary urban landscapes. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) and has exhibited at the Royal Academy.
She was born in South London to immigrant parents, her father Norwegian and her mother from Trinidad.
Her work is concerned with journeys, both actual and temporal, providing an outsider’s narrative on present day London which is tinged with a certain nostalgia for the railways and tube trains.
Human activity is there but often concealed from sight, the people anonymous. Often, only the setting alludes to the possible presence of people within the scene.
Gail’s work has a technical, draughtsman-like quality, yet underneath there is always a strong element of emotion.
She depicts London and especially its transport network with great technical accomplishment.
