His work is held in the Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal West of England Academy and private collections. He is an artist, author and educator. Young’s work has been exhibited at Royal West of England Academy, Royal Academy of Arts, Saatchi Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum. His work is regularly selected in prize exhibitions including the Wells Art Contemporary Installations, New Light Prize, ING Discerning Eye, Trinity Wharf Drawing Prize. He was the winner of the Visual Arts Open in 2019 and awarded first prize for three dimensional work at Wales Contemporary in 2022. |
Young’s work is autoethnographic, concerned with formalising ‘in between’ spaces that manifest in various ways including crossing the boundary of sculpture and drawing, objects or materials being
removed from one place and placed in another, and subject matter of physical spaces that are between states. Through allusions his work triggers metaphors and personal associations.
