Kate Brinkworth is a British painter best known for her Photorealist depictions of glossy advertisements, film noir scenes, and shiny candy. Inspired by the films of Hitchcock, she creates dynamic compositions that hint at narratives through her choice of objects and subtly alluring imagery. Brinkworth is particularly interested in the effects created though experimenting with focus and lighting: She repeatedly photographs her still lifes with various shutter speeds, camera angles, and lighting to construct meaning from the image before she begins to paint. Born in 1977 in the United Kingdom, the artist studied at Nottingham Trent University graduating in 2000. Brinkworth has shown with both Britart Gallery and Alon Zakaim Fine Art in London. She lives and works in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
