Bio:
Stan Buglass (b. 1999, London, UK) lives and works in London, UK, and Phoenix, USA. Layered between the relief of sun-bleached freeway walls and British cultural iconography, Buglass recontextualises contemporary working-class mythologies through the use of industrial objects and national symbols. He emphasises cultural entropy and the phantom limb through gestures of painting and sculpture, monumentalising declining working-class cultures of production. Buglass’s formal investigations come from reflections on his personal and familial working life and become process heavy cross-sections of the freeway, sites of labour, machines, and the bodies that operate within them. Buglass earned his BA from Central Saint Martins in 2021 and will earn his MFA at Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute class of 2026.
