Tom Lovelace

Tom Lovelace works across photography, sculpture and performance, where concept prevails over form and his methodology is one of deconstructing conventions of a conceptual understanding of 'discipline'. Primarily using the industrial landscape as his sourcing ground, he seeks to manufacture an ephemeral subject, creating environments and interventions that exist solely for the camera. Lovelace’s work challenges traditional notions of photography, presenting exquisite and progressive visual creations. Lovelace's visual sophistication combined with a fearless employment of broad artistic forms marks him out as an exciting young artist and one to watch. (Quote by Bridget Croaker) Lovelace has exhibited with Beers.Lambert Contemporary in [I Am Solitary], 2011 and [Vestiges] at the London Art Fair, 2012.
