Willoughby Brow

Willoughby Brow grew up and studied in London, starting his studio practice when he was 15 years old. He had the benefit of accessible arts and culture as a result. The diversity of media and exhibitions available inspired him to strive to be polymathic. His working practice is fuelled by investigation. Since a small boy, Willoughby has adopted deep interests and acquired diverse skills which over time have built a toolkit for creating a bespoke approach for each project he encounters. He is preoccupied with the question, ‘what’s the best way of doing this?’ He is compelled to understand how the great animators worked, how monumental sculptors trained, or what heroic painters ate for breakfast. Working in theatre allows Willoughby to use his logical as well as his lateral thinking. In design, he feels it is important to balance academic rigour with creative impulse - automatism with constraints.
