Statement

Based partly in Glasgow and partly in Copenhagen, artist Thomas Irving (b. 1993) works as a photographer, with lens-based work drawing from a background as a documentarist. His personal documentary-style pursues an honest approach to picture-making. From emotionally charged snapshots to portraits, abstract photograms and landscapes, his images represent the ambivalences of life. By physically engaging in analogue processes, Irving is exploring the parameters of lens-based work in a contemporary relevance. Exploring the beauty of the world through the artist’s intimate perception of his surroundings.
