Graham Tansley/ Collage Art

Graham Tansley's multi-disciplinary practice evolved from his collage work created between 1982 and 1991. This now includes digital film, including large-scale digital film projections shown at light festivals across England, Iceland, and Belgium, performance and interventions, and he is currently exploring laser-cut metal sculptural/stained glass forms. He is a retired academic, having worked for over 20 years as Head of Design at Leeds Arts University and previously for 10 years as founder and director of Graphic Works, an ethical design agency in Bradford, England. His practice continues to critically explore artistic, social, cultural, and environmental boundaries and is visually engaging, challenging, provocative, and playful. He has exhibited some pieces in anti-capitalist plagiarist group shows internationally and also had solo exhibitions in Bradford, London, and Jersey under a series of aliases including Karen Elliot and Kevin Hector.
