About the Artist
Born in Rotherham, UK in 1985, Richard Sides is a versatile artist whose practice defies easy categorization, spanning video, sculpture, collage, painting, music, and text. Characterized by improvisation and a keen eye for social dynamics, Sides' work often employs methods of appropriation and sampling, drawing from an extensive archive of digital and found materials. He constructs complex, non-linear narratives that intertwine observations of daily life with critical analysis of contemporary societal processes, particularly concerning the world of work. His multi-layered approach results in thought-provoking works that invite viewers to navigate a stream of interconnected ideas and forms.
