Darren Harvey-Regan
b.1974, Exeter, UK.
 
 
IMAGES        CV
Entwining image and object, the work of Darren Harvey-Regan often sees a hybridisation of the conventions of photography and sculpture. As quietly humorous as they are frustrating, his works challenge the viewer to distinguish where representation ends and the object begins. “The presentation of photographs in interaction with objects serves to highlight the inherent tensions within representation; between the photograph as an object and the image of the world it contains. In this way, I consider the photograph as being something not only to think about, but to think with.”

Darren Harvey-Regan is a graduate of the Royal College of Art. His work has appeared in exhibitions and publications internationally and is part of the permanent photography collection at the V & A Museum, London. His solo exhibitions include Theeyseesarles, Arles, FR (2021); Metalepsis, Copperfield Gallery, London (2017); The Erratics, Copperfield, London (2015 - 2016); The Erratics, Passaggi - Arte Contemporanea, Pisa (2015); Phrasings, Ravestijn, Amsterdam (2013); A Shifting Sense of Things, Sumarria Lunn, London (2013); A Collection of Gaps, Phoenix, Exeter (2011); and Fact, Room Gallery, London (2011).
