Brogan Bertie (b. 1995, South London) is a painter and artist based in Margate. He graduated from London College of Communication in 2019 and went on to work in freelance illustration and animation before training in leatherwork with Margate based Cope Studio. Alongside this Brogan developed an artistic practise in portraiture and went on to win Sky Arts Portrait artist of the year. He now works exclusively as a fine artist from his studio at TKE in Margate. 

Brogan’s art practice is rooted in connection, painting from life in order to offer an intimate and energetic insight into the sitters. Using the physicality of oil paint, Brogan creates rich and textural works that construct an honest yet tender portrait of human connection and complexity .
