"Ralph Overill's practice explores the relationship between monsters and landscapes at the periphery. Through printmaking, photography, walking, creative writing, and site-specific interventions, his art seeks to construct and explore an alternative sci-fi reality that exists in parallel to contemporary society, critiquing the governing systems and powers that appear, in his eyes, unjust and incompetent.

Drawing on the concept of hauntology, Ralph creates fragments of lost futures, gesturing times, places and events that might have been. Through adventuring down these untrodden paths, a psychogeography emerges; a web of childhood memories and cultural influences that weave into his outsider vision of a land of monsters and margins.

Ralph achieved a Professional Doctorate in Fine Art in June 2022 from the University of East London and has been awarded the Clifford Chance Purchase Prize, Curwen Studio Prize and Art in Print journal's Prix-de-Print for his work. He is employed as a printmaking technician at The Glasgow School of Art."
