John Vincent is an Artist based in Letchworth Garden City and has received a number of commissions for digital projects over the last few years resulting in some exciting collaborations and research based work.
Vincent's work ranges from short experimental films and video/audio installations to digital art. Experimentation with digital has led to further exploration of his interest in technology and the interplay of the analogue and digital media with work often manifesting with surreal and dreamlike imagery and sound.
The subject matter of Vincent’s work is often informed by a background in painting, local history, the utilisation of archives and memory blended with contemporary scenarios and imagined futures typically through a personal geographical relationship with a location.
There are also notions of a contemporary suburban Gothic with elements of horror that touches on science fiction and time travel with a distinctly British feel. These ideas have led to the exploration and representation of eerie atmospheric interpretations of everyday life and tend to be represented by missing or hidden elements within scenes often conveying a sense of mystery by alluding to events that have already occurred (or are about to).
