Artists Inspired by London: Gail Brodholt

Bridges, stations... and Regent's Canal never looked this vibrant

Gail Brodholt captures the dynamism of London through linocut prints. She shows regularly with Eames Fine Art in Bermondsey.

How did London become the source of inspiration for your work?

London has always been my home, and I can’t imagine creating art inspired by any other place. As a lifelong Londoner, I feel an intrinsic connection to the city — one that is essential to my creative process.

For me, artistic inspiration is deeply rooted in familiarity and personal experience; fleeting visits or even prolonged stays elsewhere fail to evoke the same resonance.

It is London’s relentless energy, the distinctive individuals encountered in the rhythm of daily life, and the overlooked moments of the everyday that interest me.
