Adam Bridgland
Adam Bridgland is a printmaker using a diverse range of materials and methods to pursue an incisive and often witty exploration of distinctively British sentiments. Twinned with a wistful sense of nostalgia is an upbeat celebration of themes distilled from children’s colouring books, old public transport posters and kitsch postcards, which he imbues with the kaleidoscopic richness of carefully chosen and thickly applied primary colours.
