Bio
Guy OIiver lives and works in Margate. He graduated from the Royal College of Art (MA Painting) in 2015, and his interdisciplinary practice employs video as well as text, painting, collage and performance. He looks at popular culture and our sense of identity that’s formed within it. Rooted within a framework of self-portraiture, Guy’s work explores notions of masculinity, identity, comedy and tragedy, taking a highly personal but irreverent working approach. He sees his practice as “an act of assimilation and subsequent dissection of specific, often peripheral, areas of popular culture, akin to an incompetent and slightly deranged cultural historian.
