Style & Technique
Fletcher’s paintings are instantly recognisable for their luminous colours, loose brushwork, and layered textures. Working primarily in acrylics and oils, he creates richly composed canvases that balance fine detail with a sense of spontaneity.
Birds in flight, tangled foliage, and vivid flowers frequently take centre stage, but it’s the energy and movement within each composition that define his work.
His technique embraces the freedom of gestural painting while maintaining a deep sensitivity to structure and rhythm.
