Aubrey is an artist designer and photographer from the UK and now based in Bangkok. He has a passion and love for the human body as the subject of his artworks. Taking this as his starting point he creates bold and powerful images, infused with a keen sense of design and form - working with both photography and painting as his chosen media. His principal interest is in exploring diversity and differences in the human form. Progressing from drawing and painting from life, he translates what he observes into photography and over the years this has developed into multiple visual dialogues exploring the concept of the ‘eye of the beholder’, with Mapping the Human Body his most ambitious, award-winning work to date. Aubrey’s paintings and photographs are an exploration of the dynamics that are created by looking and being looked at - bringing into debate the contentious notion of the male gaze. People, art and architecture provide the raw material which he scrutinises through his lens or paintbrush and processes them into memorable, if not unforgettable images. His primary objective is to create beauty. His tools of choice are the camera and paintbrush.

An artist looking at the world with different eyes.
Born in South Africa Aubrey moved to the UK when he was 18. He studied art at the Bath Academy of Art and Graphics at The London College of Printing and fell in love with all things visual. After college, he worked for Richard Bird - then the resident designer of the National Theatre, and was fortunate enough to work on the theatre, dance, opera and art gallery posters for the next 20 years. He designed many memorable poster campaigns that require a story to be reduced to its essence, conveyed in a split second. A useful skill that has greatly benefited his work as a designer and artist. Now as Creative Director, at one of the most well-known interior design firms, he gets the chance to make good use of all the skills he has honed over the last 30 years.
