Molly Brocklehurst - In Conversation

In this episode, we are in conversation with the young British figurative artist Molly Brocklehurst who is based in South London. Molly graduated with a Masters in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Arts in 2019 winning the Wimbledon Alumni Professional Award and was a finalist in the 2020 Signature Art Prize.

She hit the British art scene in brilliant fashion last year being named as one of Saatchi Arts Rising Stars of 2019 and exhibiting in February 2020 in the Maddox Gallery in Mayfair, London.

We are all about supporting fresh, talented, international female artists at the Nordic Art Agency and Molly is an exciting artist to watch.

In the podcast, Molly discussed the historical and nostalgic utopia depictions explored in her work as she gives new life to images uncovered in old black and white photographs discovered in flea markets or antique fairs. Rituals and ceremonies, costume and theatre also play a role in her striking muted pastel-painted canvases.

We are currently featuring two of Molly's paintings in our HANSA LOVES ART International Art Pop Up until July 25th 2020. Both works, Intrusion and Colony, are featured in our current digital exhibition catalogue and on our website.

Molly’s painting has already been featured in the Wing’s Private Collection in London and we are delighted to represent her in Scandinavia exclusively. We will also be featuring new work later this year in our group exhibition FACES which will take place in the Nordic Art Agency Gallery in Malmö in October.
