ABOUT
Will Handysides (b. 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tottenham, north London. A lifelong painter, drawer and maker, he has focussed his artistic practice on the visual arts since 2021, taking inspiration from his love of the natural environment and dedication to protecting and celebrating the Earth.
His practice varies from visceral outdoor sessions to studio work, using a wide variety of techniques and media to express the complexity of our surroundings.
He trained as a composer at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and his music has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, and performed live in the UK and across Europe.
