AUTHOR
b. 1994, Joel Biddle is a photographic artist working in London.
A recent photography graduate of the Arts University of Bournemouth, Joel works with minimalism in his photography, searching for order and structure, sometimes only found by his own intervention and study, often focusing on the interaction between bodies of water and objects.
The tranquillity found with large bodies of water, a substantial reason that a sea view is so desirable and buildings are built to face the sea despite the corrosive sea wind that those buildings will be exposed to, is reflected in the core of his work. Joel's photography is designed to emphasise that feeling of tranquillity by injecting structure, ratio or rule into the compositions, constantly searching for lines to intersect and playing with colours (or lack of) along the way.
Recent exhibitions include Photograd Open as art of Photomonth in 2018 & Thread Count for Der Greif in 2017.
