Felix Treadwell paints renditions of anxious adolescence. Universally relatable, his work operates as a form of therapy for present-day insecurities, anxiety and mental health.

Silent Commuter introduces the human and animal relationships explored through Treadwell’s wider practice. Reflecting on the monotony of his daily routine whilst working in London, Treadwell recalls a beautiful, yet fleeting moment of eye contact with the dog depicted.

For Treadwell, this looser painting style represents vulnerability. The edition appears melancholic on the surface, but possesses a deeper yearning for connection.

Behind the scenes

00:20

Felix Treadwell2 collaborationsFelix Treadwell paints with a tangible nostalgia for his youth. Human figures, fantasy creatures, animals and dinosaurs are all rendered in soft, pastel-hued gradients which combine airbrushing with hand-painted acrylic elements. In more saturated palettes, the artist also creates pencil and crayon sketches, fibreglass sculptures and oil stick drawings. Much like artists associated with the Superflat movement, such as Lo Chiao-ling and Yoshitomo Nara, Treadwell draws inspiration from manga and anime alongside traditional Japanese printmaking and woodcarving. He is also inspired by fashion blogs from the 2000s. In tandem, these influences convey a sentimentality felt by many millenials for the dawn of the internet.

I was lucky enough to have been invited to see the creation of this piece of work back in June and met the fantastic Miwa so seeing this print now is just fantastic. The colours are every bit as vibrant as the original.
