Martin Parr
Early Works
“We are quite an eccentric nation, and the wryness of observation that Tony Ray-Jones did so well was something I aspired to myself,” Parr says. “There is a humour and there is always a tragedy – especially at the seaside. It always feels slightly sad in a sense. They’re all meant to be jolly but they’re often quite run down. So that contradiction and ambiguity I very much like.”

Ken Grant
CWM: The Fair Country
For nearly thirty years Ken Grant photographed the South Wales Valleys. His images record the gradual post-industrial transition of the landscape and the communities weathering change—watched by the steadfast ponies who have populated the hills for millennia.
Grant embarked quietly on this series in the mid-1990s, in parallel to his more widely-seen photographs depicting urban working class life in his native Liverpool. Although visually dissimilar, both sets of work are connected by the themes of labour and endurance.
