Giles Ripley
Permanent Working Location:
London
General Working Practice:
“Giles Ripley is a cunning young artist-filmmaker making short, potent films satirizing aspects of human motivation and a growing trend for neurosis about achievement and self-actualizing. His films are funny, disarming and immediately likeable but also connect us to deeper and more uncomfortable emotions – fear of looking stupid and fear of wasting our life by not living up to potential. Ripley has been curated into international exhibitions, picked up by a number of savvy collectors and included in the likes of Kay Saatchi’s top picks.”
Mill24 Exhibition:
