About me

Roman Vaughan-Williams (b. 1997) is an artist who primarily works with drawing, but also uses video installation, performance and sculpture. His works attempts to deal with the totality of relations, while still being about something concrete; the crisis of a society unable and unwilling to confront its own contradiction. Within this context, the works are not merely situated as sites of critique but rather as worlds from which to think of new speculative realities.

Vaughan-Williams’s flat-works’ often deal with scale and space disorientating the viewer through different planes of detail. Throughout his oeuvre he has drawn on a wide range of sources from different traditions, at the moment he is specifically interested in the artists Hercules Seghers, Helen Chadwick, Mark Lombardi and
Gou Xi.

Vaughan-Williams is a graduate of the Royal Drawing School and Newcastle
University (BA Fine Art).
