W
illiam Turner Gallery presents Azimuth: New Works by Casper Brindle.
Casper Brindle has spent considerable time on a surfboard and one cannot deny that the artist pays homage to surf culture both in material and subject matter.
The Light and Space atmosphere of a Robert Irwin or James Turell has been referenced albeit briefly, and the artist has pondered the high-gloss, metal-flaked custom car finishes that are uniquely Californian; but with deliberate consideration, Brindle has embarked upon his own diaspora.
