| 关于此艺术家 |
Practice:
Nigel Grimmer's art practice explores the relationship between public and personal imagery and its influence on the production of identity. An archive of ephemera from popular culture, including comic books, action figures, joke shop props, pop songs, snapshots and film stills, is drawn through his personal narratives and then returned to the public realm. Rendered both strange and familiar, Grimmer presents an alternative to 'mainstream' culture, an acknowledgement of his experience by the conveyance of a unique sensibility, a subculture, formed by the selection and editing of this material.
Biography:
Nigel Grimmer was born in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. He completed his Masters in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 1998. Since graduating Grimmer has exhibited throughout the UK and has shown work in Germany, France and Switzerland. Grimmer has curated a number of exhibitions in London and his work is regularly published in a variety of journals. Arts Council East and The Elephant Trust currently support his work. During 2006 Nigel Grimmer is exhibiting in Standpoint, Lounge, VTO and Fosterart in London, as well as Shrewsbury Museum and Gallery, Surface Gallery in Nottingham and MAC in Birmingham; in 2007 he will exhibit at The Margaret Harvey Gallery in St. Albans. Nigel Grimmer has recently produced bodies of work in Tokyo and Berlin; he currently lives and works in both London and Norfolk.
"Sharp and Sensational" Stewart Who, Time Out.
"Subversive, he mischievously pokes fun at mass media stereotypes" Robert Clark, The Guardian.
Inspirations:
Family Albums, mass produced plastic tat, holiday souvenirs, Independent Cinema, Sophie Calle, toys, seaside towns.
