Richie Culver is a self-taught artist who was born into a working-class family in Hull, in the North of England. Although he was not exposed to art while growing up, Culver’s artistic talent could not be suppressed for long. He eventually embarked upon a career that encompasses diverse elements, ranging from painting, sculpture, and photography to digital performance.

The autobiographical work of Richie Culver explores themes such as contemporary masculinity, the class system, and the digital lens through which we view our lives. In fact, a significant portion of his practice focuses on his antagonistic relationship with technology, specifically around the impermanence of social media and its effects on human interaction and linguistics. Culver’s work, informed by his personal and cultural memory, often incorporates images that he collected on his phone.
