Brendan Fitzpatrick is a an award-winning figurative artist from both London and Hong Kong. He attended both Central Saint Martins and the Royal Drawing School before apprenticing at the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, where he subsequently began teaching at the request of the atelier. In 2018 he was awarded the Portrait Prize by the Royal Ulster Academy. Fitzpatrick utilises the sight-size technique used by the Old Masters, whereby a model is painted in person to the scale of life. Citing artists Velasquez, Borremans and Rembrandt as influences, he marries the intensity of the craft in fine art in a contemporary setting. Fitzpatrick has recently set up a studio on Hong Kong island where he is currently accepting commission portraits.

Brendan Fitzpatrick (費愽東) 是倫敦和香港的獲獎人像畫家。他曾於倫敦中央聖馬丁學院和倫敦皇家繪畫學院接受正統油畫訓練，在進入意大利佛羅倫斯著名的 Charles H. Cecil 工作室當學徒後，更應工作室的要求開始教學。

 Brendan 深受大師級藝術家Velasquez，Borremans和Rembrandt的影響, 擅長將藝術的細緻與厚度呈現在具有現代感的環境之中。2018年，他被北愛爾蘭皇家阿爾斯特學院（Royal Ulster Academy）授予了肖像大獎。

 Brendan 所有作品皆以經典「目測比例」繪畫方法在現場觀察主體後進行創作。當其他畫家選擇以靜態照片為參照作畫時，他選擇將畫布放置在人物旁邊，目測比例以畫出近乎 1:1 的逼真人像畫作。過程中Brendan 不但細緻地捕捉人物的逼真樣貌，更將人物個性的本質全然呈現於畫布之上。

 Brendan現已於香港成立工作室，並正接受客戶委託。
