L. S. Toy

Based: London, UK

MFA. Royal College of Art. * / BSc Economics. University of London + LSE

L.S. Toy is a conceptual artist based in Hackney, London, whose work focuses on capturing the conditions and elements of the larger world, particularly through the lens of hyper-capitalism. Toy studied economics at the University of London and the London School of Economics before attending the Royal College of Art. He has since pursued a more autonomous path, challenging traditional artistic boundaries and employing industrial methods and digital tools to critique the mechanized, impersonal nature of contemporary conflicts and media narratives. His practice critically examines global conflicts, media representation, and commodification, presenting the art object as an interactive performance that reflects the complexities of existence in a digitized age.
