Mark Leonard Watts
Mark Watt’s unique form of photographic self portraiture is as absorbing as it is absurd; we are taken to the heart of Japanese idolatry - pop characters in anime style – as Watts forms narratives in all the magic and colour of this addictive cult genre. But all is not as it appears… Watts has seamlessly employed his own visage to skew the imagery. Instantly enjoyable yet intellectually compelling this precise and humorous work is laced with deeper questions and considerations, fleshing out Watts’ experiences of Japanese culture.
