Paul Graham - Photographs 1981-2006

Opens: 20/04/2011 Closes: 19/06/2011 Whitechapel Gallery, London
Pioneering British photographer Paul Graham has documented the effects of political and socio-economic change on communities in the UK, USA, Europe and Japan over a period of 25 years. Graham’s candour is supported by his decision to work in colour and sidestep the dramatisation of black and white photography.

The Telegraph“The gold of art...” You may not agree with his Leftie politics, but you have to respect his cussed determination always to pursue the unexpected, and you cannot fail but be thrilled by his cocksure aptitude for ad-hoc composition...
