New work from Lee Ford

Phosphor's Lee Ford has been experimenting with progressing his style and treating figures in a more graphic way.

Lee’s unique approach to graphic image making has a strong connection to traditional print based methods and has evolved through many years of experimentation. These traditionally printed elements are combined with digital and analogue graphic processes that include found ephemera, drawing and photography all described using a playful, visceral visual language that explores both concept and aesthetic in equal measure.

Lee describes his passion for graphic processes and obsession with surface texture as playful, expressive and emotive.
