Portrait of Paris Tankard

Paris Tankard is a 21-year-old Black British, award winning artist from Dagenham, Essex. Their work often looks at the members of our society and seeks to uplift them, focusing on issues such as Race, Sexuality and Class. Paris’ work aims to create a dialogue and/or discourse for any person - regardless of their identity - who might engage with it. An equally important facet of their work is to document the events and formative moments of peoples lives, conceptualised within their most recent project: a documentation of the lives of queer people of colour.

Paris has exhibited their work most recent creative work in the Free Range Gallery in Shoreditch, London. The project received best in show at the AOP awards.

Paris is still pursuing their art in Cardiff.
