Biography

Tom Lovelace studied Photography and Art History
at the Bournemouth Arts Institute and Goldsmiths
College, London. He has since exhibited at
Flowers Gallery, ArtSway, Son Gallery and the
Royal West of England Academy. Lovelace's work
been selected for the Terry O’Neill Award and
published by Source Photographic Review and
Art Licks.

In 2008 Lovelace won the Surface Gallery Prize
(Nottingham), resulting in a solo show in 2009.
In 2010 he received the Rhubarb Rhubarb Bursary.
Recent exhibtions include Gouge at Galleri Image,
Aarhus, Denmark (2011) and Ristruttura at ProjectB
Gallery, Milan, Italy (2012).

Lovelace’s practice fuses photography with sculpture
and acts of intervention. Primarily using the
industrial landscape as his sourcing ground, he
seeks to manufacture an ephemeral, permormative
subject; creating objects and environments that
exist solely for the camera. The point at which
the production of functionless objects and
processes intersect with photography is a key
moment in his work.
