Steve BROCKETT

(U.K)

Steve Brockett is part of this generation of young creators of the seventies who took inspiration of their travels in Asia.

Calm and shy Steve Brockett made his first steps in kiteworld aged 7. He enters fine Arts School in Cardiff and becomes a painter. The transition to kite construction results from a long evolution. He takes inspiration from Paul Klee and prefers cotton or polyester to spi canvas.

His works are about spirituality, dream, deities. He aims at refelcting emotions and feelings of people. To make a connection with this other dimension figured by the sky he uses as well representation of human faces as symbolic or supernatural animals ans cosmic elements.

Black birds and dreams lizard of the constellation : the names he gives to his kites show clearly his state of mind, between real and unreal.

Steve Brockett's goal is to try by his kites to reveal invisible elements, to communicate, to set off an emotion or a reaction. Settled in Cardiff areas he owes a workshop where he still paints. He displays sometimes and his work became entirely a support for art and creation.
