About Tat Vision

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 sculptures embrace parody, awkwardness and ugliness as tools to question nostalgia, celebrity and mass consumption. 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 a
