Brigstock House - Front and Back Facades is by Curtis Hylton @curtis_hylton a Reading-based artist. Curtis is a highly experienced British artist, the son of a Jamaican father and White British mother. This mixed heritage is the basis of Curtis’s work and is integral to his aesthetic. He tells this mixed cultural story through the painting of botanicals and birdlife. His botanicals and birdlife are a mix of native and tropical species from the places of his parents’ birth. Showing the beauty when nature collaborates it can create powerful and awe-inspiring results. This mixture of cultures told in this way in the urban environment makes us all appreciate the true variety and beauty to be found in our diverse cultures. This diversity is as London is - our true treasure and should be colourfully celebrated.
