Sculptor and Film Artist

Location:

Essex

ABOUT:

Mitch Vowles’ (b.1994) practice primarily concerns the process of mobilisation. By elevating the often mundane nature of social and economic struggle his work is able to represent those affected both within and outside of the context of Art, Aiming to challenge boundaries and bring the colloquial spaces and class symbolism to the attention of institutions that govern artistic importance.

The artworks centre around the cultural context of certain objects. By questioning the status of these objects and exploring their implied associations and settings, a dialogue can develop within the objects that reflects upon his own upbringing, memories and social status.Through the use of objects, Vowles’ is not only able to discuss personal anecdotes but also promote discussion around the broader topics of British identity, subcultures and class. The work seeks to enable this dialogue to unfold, to bring about a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, whilst challenging conventional artistic forms and functions, as well as denying the commercial context of art.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
