Guyan Porter
Guyan Porter (born 1971, Aberdeen, Scotland) is a visual artist living in Sussex, England, and working internationally. His work encompasses installation, sculpture, painting, architectural and public interventions and studio-based work that explores 'the sociological and psychological foundations of belief'.
With a multi-disciplinary approach, his work is research led and has explored diverse subjects such as statistical data, democracy, early human categorisation and conflicts between internal and external authorities. Mixing traditional forms with processes of political engagement, Porter draws on conceptual and installation art while referencing pioneering social scientists such as Daniel Dennett and Stanley Milgram.

In 2001 he was a founding member and first President of the Scottish Artists Union, the first ever Trade Union for visual and applied artists in the United Kingdom.
