PROFILE

[b. 1965, London, UK]

 
  • Giles Revell creates photography, that questions the boundaries between science and art, metaphor and reality. His ideas about the environment are shaped by his training as a geologist, and the graphic beauty of his work, reveals his insatiable curiosity for transforming the mundane. Revell is a master of lighting and a voracious collector of natural materials, that can be seen throughout his work.

    His methods are diverse and forensic, often mimicking large-scale natural processes to express global themes of fragility and transition. His photography explores the margins of natural history, art, and culture.

    Revell has won numerous photographic awards and high-profile commissions, with a recently celebrated collaboration, to relaunch the Royal Opera House, creating kinetic sculptural dance images.

    His work is published and exhibited internationally and represented in permanent collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum and Natural History Museum.
