Ca1um Stamper

Calum Stamper is an artist from North Yorkshire whose work explores the nature and relationships of modern culture behaviours in present-day society. The photographic genre of street and documentary photography are keen interests and a preferred area of exploration in Stamper’s ongoing practice. In the past, Stamper was a sports photographer for the Hartlepool Rugby Club and has published many of his imagery through the club itself. However, his exploration into the digital space of the internet and social media has changed Stamper’s style to a contemporary representation that is a reflection of this artist’s perspective on discussed issues in the art industries and media. Stamper is an alumnus of the University of Sunderland and Northern School of Art, who was shortlisted Ezio Student Awards in 2017/ 2019 and has exhibited work internationally and in the UK, these include:
