Nigel Goldsmith
My work explores the scale and impact of human behaviour on people and planet with a focus on global trade and consumer culture.
In my work I explore some of the visual and aural strategies used in advertising to mesmerise and seduce the viewer, presenting a subject overwhelming in scale yet somehow pleasing to watch.
I was born in Carmarthen in Wales but now based near Bath. I have a BA in Photographic Art from PCL and a MA in Fine Art from Bath School of Art. I am an associate artist at Spike Island in Bristol.
