About

Tat Vision is a Brummie papier-mâché pop artist, performer and workshop facilitator who graduated from Birmingham City University with a BA in Fine Art in 2012. His practice is rooted in a childhood fascination with just you know –creating. Inspired by the belief that art can be created anywhere, from anything, by anyone, like cardboard and/or old socks. That early influence continues to inform his material choices and accessible approach. Working primarily in papier-mâché, cardboard and reclaimed second-hand materials or you know, bits of tat from the charity shop.

Tat Vision reimagines figures from popular culture, distorting the familiar into exaggerated, imperfect, and often grotesque and daft looking forms. His sculptures embrace parody, awkwardness and ugliness as tools to question nostalgia, celebrity and mass consumption. By deliberately adopting a playful, childlike aesthetic, he disrupts polished pop imagery and shakes out the fragility beneath the surface, similar to how an orangutan would shake a tree to get some fruit. Alongside his studio practice, he hosts and performs live shows and delivers participatory workshops across schools, community settings and cultural events. Through both making and performance, he champions creativity without hierarchy encouraging audiences to experiment, improvise and create boldly with the materials around them.
