Will Teather - Fine artist

British artist Will Teather graduated from Central St Martins College of Art and Design in 2003, and currently lives and works in Norwich. Teather originally made his name by exhibiting regularly in London with the art collective Project 142. His work has recently been featured in venues including Gallery No 9 in Marciac, Oxfordshire’s Modern Artists Gallery  and ‘“The Cork Street Open Exhibition,” a juried exhibition of contemporary fine art in Mayfair, London.

Teather came to wider public attention in spring 2007 when he was selected from world-wide applications to spearhead the new artist-in-residence programme at Aberdeen Arts Centre. The artist's two month residency in Scotland was a high-profile public event which met with substantial interest and acclaim at a local and national level.

The narrative concepts which underpin his current series were nurtured whilst in Aberdeen through visits to The Elphinstone Institute, meeting local author Stanley Robertson and being shown around HM Theatre's archives by Edi Swan, in addition to watching the Arts Centre's own dance and theatre programme.

Teather has lectured on drawing courses at Leeds College of Art & Design and more recently Norwich University College of the Arts. In July he was awarded a College staff award, in recognition of his contribution as a demonstrater for the College’s Drawing Workshop.
