À propos

Liam Kevin Franklin (LK Franklin) is a British artist and draughtsman based in St Neots, England. He began rigorous study of figure construction at the age of twelve with George Bridgman's Constructive Anatomy. Since 2012 he has studied intensively with Sheldon Borenstein and Glen Vilppu, and was a long-term student at New Masters Academy (approximately 2018–2021). He has also learned from Rey Bustos, Aaron Blaise, and earlier drew strong influence from Joe Madureira.

Alongside a twenty-year career as a full-stack developer, designer, and technical product builder, Liam has maintained a private, disciplined drawing practice rooted in classical constructive anatomy, gesture, and atmospheric narrative. His work explores the human figure, motherhood of the self, celestial quiet, transformation, and the quiet power of becoming — themes that also inform his clothing brand Mudélie.

He lives in St Neots with his young daughter and is currently focusing more fully on his artistic practice.

Processus et influences

L'anatomie constructive d'après Bridgman ; la forme qui tourne et respire de Vilppu ; la patience de Borenstein. Chaque dessin commence par le geste et va vers la forme.

Ces thèmes nourrissent aussi Mudélie, une marque de vêtements pour celles et ceux qui s'élèvent.
