Natural rhythms are at the core of William Lasdun’s practice. His artworks are highly structured, where ripples of shadow combine with an  approach to construction rooted in fluidity. They reflect an expert understanding of architectural structures present within nature. Working in black and white laquered HDF, Lasdun creates refined three-dimensional wall pieces defined by the quiet drama of light and shadow.

Trained from a young age by his father Denys Lasdun in the ideals of Brutalist architecture, William's practice explores form as something activated by illumination, depth and spatial rhythm. These works may be geometric in approach, but they are always crisp and delicate, divining ocean swells, water flows, and rip-tides from individual planes of wood. Despite their solid make-up, these wall pieces evoke the fine line between earth and ephemera: each piece subtly transforms light as it moves across its surface, revealing a subtle interplay between structure and atmosphere not unlike the sight of a shifting sand dune, or the contours on a geological map. 

Following City and Guilds Art school in London and a degree in History of Art at UEA, William was employed by the “English National Opera” to assist their set designers in turning design concepts into working stage sets, and has received several private commissions from fields across art and architecture - from project proposals for Chichester Cathedral to site-specific works connected to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection during the Venice Biennale, he has worked internationally in Japan, Switzerland and the USA. His artworks have received exceptional responses from collectors around the world, and he continues to present at a number of group exhibitions and art fairs, including his Woolff Gallery debut at AAF Battersea in March 2026.
