Martin Parr is renowned as one of the UK’s greatest photographers of human life.

           Martin Parr was born in Epsom, Surrey, UK (b. 1952). His budding interest in the medium of photography was encouraged by his grandfather George Parr, himself a keen amateur photographer. Ever since, he has become a chronicler of our age.

           A full member of the international photo agency Magnum since 1994, and between 2013 – 2017 he was president of Magnum Photos. His work challenges the deluge of media images with his distinctive perspective. His work often features exaggerated and colourful motifs, exploring themes of leisure, consumption, and communication worldwide. Through criticism, seduction, and humour, he offers insightful and entertaining commentary on contemporary society.

           The Martin Parr Foundation, founded in 2014, and registered as a charity in 2015 opened premises in his hometown of Bristol in 2017. It houses his own archive, his collection of British and Irish photography by other photographers, and a gallery.

Kim Fisher works across photography, printmaking and installation, responding to her adopted city of Los Angeles – tracking its culture, weather, and architecture, as well as their disorienting effects. Collage is key part of her process, and she uses sources ranging from her own photographs to clippings from newspapers and magazines.
Sue Tompkins' practice is rooted language – in the formation of words, the use of speech and voice, and various forms of personal expression.

In these, fragments of conversation and everyday phrases are distorted and re-arranged.
Tony Swain alters, merges, and obscures printed pictures with paint, using newspaper imagery as a stimulus for his work – its inclusion a mixture of conscious selection and contingency. His collaging and painting are intuitive, and he creates mythical landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors from his factual sources.
Monika Sosnowska's practice takes inspiration from architectural entropy, rooted in her experience of structural change in various Eastern European cities. The defunct forms of post-industrial buildings have long informed the artist’s warped and distorted sculptures, in particular, her engagement with ideas of collapse – materially and conceptually.
Martin Boyce's poetic installations comprise a vocabulary of images, typography and interconnected forms which emerge across his sculptures, wall paintings, and photography. Collectively, these conjure liminal spaces which explore the aesthetic and political legacy of Modernism, the collapse of nature and culture, and the boundary between the real and fictional.
Lisa Alvarado's practice is rooted in her knowledge of Mexican American textile and mural painting traditions. Alvarado’s free-hanging works are considered orchestrations, exploring visual and sonic resonance, as well as quotidian rhythms – the transition from day to night, the drawing of breath in and out of the body.
Dirk Bell's practice questions our attempts to make sense of the belief systems and structures that control our world. The artist employs a variety of linguistic signs across drawing, painting, and sculpture in his arresting multimedia installations, often reflecting on the relationship between civilisation and human nature.
