Lindsay Pickett is a fine artist who lives and works in London. In 1999 he graduated from the University of East London on a BA Fine Art Degree, and spent many years producing work for exhibitions and commissions. He also graduated at City and Guilds of London Art School on an MA Fine Art degree, where his work found a new fresh direction, under expert tutor guidance.

 

Working from multiple sources of inspiration, he finds that depicting hybrid animals work as a metaphor for his sense of not belonging. His feeling of being ‘other’. He finds images of animals online and then tends to modify such imagery to suit his own creations. Merging often more than one species to create a ‘sub’ species. 

 

Such development of his images start out as thumbnail drawings in his sketchbook while he takes the time to develop his compositions. They are then produced in colour as works on paper usually in Gauche paint on watercolour paper and then some are selected as final pieces in Oil on Linen.
