Nigel Grimmer

• 
• Nigel Grimmer's practice explores the relationship between public and personal imagery and its influence on the production of identity. An archive of ephemera from popular culture - comic books, action figures, joke shop props, snapshots and film stills - is drawn through his personal narratives and then returned to the public realm. Rendered both strange and familiar, Grimmer presents an alternative to mainstream culture, an acknowledgement of his experience by the conveyance of a unique sensibility, a subculture formed by the selection and editing of this material. Nigel Grimmer was born in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. He completed his Masters in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 1998.
