Bruce Asbestos is an artist producing large-scale, participatory and spatial projects that draw on pop culture, fashion, folklore, and contemporary image economies. His work uses humour, spectacle, and bold visual language to create shared encounters that operate across art, public space, and institutional contexts.

His projects are designed to work at scale and within complex delivery environments, often involving large numbers of participants and collaborators. Recent works have engaged audiences of over 27,000 people at Tate Modern and more than 65,000 visitors through a major public sculpture in Ilam Park.

Bruce has presented work internationally, including at Tate Modern (London), the Venice Biennale, the Hayward Gallery, SXSW (USA), and the Bangkok Biennale, and has worked with organisations including the National Trust. His work is held in the Government Art Collection and the National Justice Museum.

He is based in the UK.

"Maybe Asbestos is playing the role of spectator and is waiting to see what the Internet will make of the extreme quantity of work."
VICE

"This is Art for the social media age."
The Stylist

"Through his shrewd use of social media, personal re-hashing of global pop culture and use of new digital technologies, he has established an unmistakable visual identity and unique brand (complete with logos) to almost become a living artwork."
