Fernando Feijoo Spanish/English, b. 1978

Feijoo's work is bawdy, brash and bursting with energy. He depicts the impolite side of the human race. At the heart of what he does is narrative and the urgent need to tell a story; although his work is 'aesthetic', it is very much as a side product of his image-making process.

- Chris Pig, Artist Printmaker

Fernando Feijoo studied his BA Hons at Kent Institute of Art and Design and then went on to complete his MA in Fine Art at Winchester School of Art. Fernando then went on to work as a master Lithographer at the Curwen Studio and later moved into teaching where he now specializes in Graphic Arts.

 

Fernando´s work has a sense of humour within it even though sometimes he makes images which reflect the darker side of human nature. He is interested in social and political issues and these often appear as the main theme within his work. The narrative images have hidden layers of information within them. He enjoys making work which constantly reveals new findings within it. The closer you are drawn into the image, the more you understand about the characters and the lives they lead.
