FADI MIKHAIL: Born and living in Harlow, Essex, Fadi Mikhail studied at The Slade School of Fine Art in London before training as an iconographer under the guidance of famed icon-painter Isaac Fanous in Los Angeles. Working in oil on canvas, Fadi’s paintings are inspired by the stories of childhood. He names British painters such as Stanley Spencer, Paul Nash and John Bratby as some of his biggest influences. Fadi said: “My work is concerned with the joy of remembering childhood literature – both books and film – while enjoying the act of making a good painting. I love to close my eyes and remember what it is to ride around the river bend with Pocahontas, or to be just like one of the lost boys, or to find the mysterious Aslan in Narnia. Mix that with the love of paint itself and you have my dreams in a bottle.”
