Kurt Engledow is an award winning Perth based artist currently exploring themes of nostalgia, sexuality and masculinity through found and discarded photographs. Although relatively disinterested in publicity, his work has been exhibited in London, UK and Perth, Australia and can be purchased from Bluethumb.com.
Kurt has been painting since he was a child. He would spend hours watching his father paint in his studio and was in awe of the detail he would include in his work. His father taught him how to draw and use oil paint when he was still very young.
As a teenager, he discovered that he could get out of Physical Education at school by finishing off his paintings in the back of the art room whilst the teacher taught another class.
‘I still have that wonderful teacher to thank for not only encouraging me with art but also for my lack of sporting prowess’.
After a few years enjoying the London life, he gained a place at Goldsmith's College where he studied Art and Education.
