1:05:30Now PlayingA 65-minute portrait of the artist Liz Finch. From her life changing accident and rural solitude, to the mad social whirl of 80s London anarchic performances and the present day – this film by filmmaker Nichola Bruce offers an intriguing glimpse into the artist’s private world.
The film features interviews with some of Finch’s closest friends and family — and stars from the world of art and performance — who share their stories about the artist’s life and work. Contributors include musicians Jools Holland and Richard Strange, artist Brian Clarke, and art historian Martin Harrison.
The Romance of Bricks is a unique record of a remarkable life and Finch’s extensive body of work, from early drawings and surreal paintings to figurative arrangements and riotous performances.
