__________
Kingsley Ifill (b. 1988) is a multidisciplinary British artist currently living and working between London and Kent. His practice is predominantly focused on process-based photography, incorporating painting, printmaking, artist books and sculpture. Ifill’s images are immediate and arresting, known for compositional austerity and analogue textures. He carries out all aspects of the creative process by hand, from developing film to printing and bookmaking. Using a combination of techniques including screen printing, photocopying and assemblage, he creates large-scale mixed-media canvases from his photographs. Bookmaking is a significant part of Ifill’s practice, with many of the books made by hand in small editions in his studio. Ifill is also known for his portraiture, and his work has been published in AnOther, D La Repubblica, Dazed, HTSI, i-D Magazine, Middle Plane, The Face and U La Repubblica. He regularly contributes to POP Magazine and Arena Homme +. He has also shot special projects commissioned by Alexander McQueen, Our Legacy, Rick Owens, Tom Ford and Vivienne Westwood.
