Paul Francis Bryan is a Norwich based visual artist whose practice utilises lens-based and sculptural mediums to interrogate how physical objects act as conduits for human desire, identity and collective memory. He holds a BA (Hons) from Norwich University of the Arts, an MFA from Nottingham Trent University, and was shortlisted for Bloomberg New Contemporaries in 2020.
