British artist Will Teather's paintings and drawings often depict curious characters caught up in uncanny situations. Influenced by magical-realism and lifting motifs from diverse sources such as Flemish still life, baroque art and Weimar painters, the artist enters into direct conversation with the history of painting with the aim of bringing a contemporary sensibility to the table.

The book includes over 100 high quality reproductions of the artist's work, a biography by art critic Ian Collins, 2 essays by leading academics and an interview with the artist.

Teather has featured in exhibitions and publications internationally, receiving numerous grants, awards and scholarships. He has been awarded spells as Artist-in-Residence for venues in New York, Aberdeen and Norfolk. Work is held in public and private collections in the UK and overseas.
