Who is the Artphoria Collective?
Crystal Evans
Crystal D. Evans is an international multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, sculpture, poetry and less traditional visual & audio arts. Grounded in phenomenology and stoicism, her work explores human insights, perception, bias, memory, and emotion. She examines themes of narrative, identity, belonging, and cultural intersection and embraces imperfection as means of truth-telling.
Elz Savage
Elz Savage's practice is focused on exploring feelings of nostalgia and childhood in response to Derrida and Fischer’s Hauntology theory. Visually informed by Medieval imagery and Renaissance Portraiture, Elz’s work strives to combine the early 2000s aesthetic with classic art history motifs.

Crystal D. Evans' work spans photography, sculpture, video, sound, text, and immersive installation—often combining mediums to disrupt first impressions and invite embodied reflection. Uncompromising in defending the dignity of marginalised voices—including her own—she challenges exploitative systems and cultural erasure through urgent, emotionally resonant forms. Her latest body of work, What Remains, debuted at the Herbert Read Gallery in 2025, exploring themes of legacy, impermanence, and cultural memory. The collection continues its international tour, with exhibitions at the Venice International Art Fair, Borders Venice Art Fair during Venice Biennale 2025, Barcelona Contemporary Art Fair, Rome International Art Fair, Art Society Sandwich's Summer Art Exhibition, with solo shows at Roseberry Road Studios and Strange Cargo in UK. An accompanying book of the same title is out now. Strategic and visionary, Crystal’s practice bridges intellectual depth and intuitive force. Her work confronts, mourns, reclaims, and transforms—anchored by universal truths and human insights. Whether through material, metaphor, or movement, she invites audiences to confront their own perceptions and biases, and to consider the unseen or uncomfortable truths that shape us.

Elz Savage is an unapologetically queer and neurodivergent artist, constantly striving to satiate their inner child through a range of mediums. They consider all of their work to be a form of portraiture, even pieces without human subjects, and are fascinated by the idea of elevating mundane objects to a religious standard through hyperrealism.
Savage’s practice is inspired by a personal exploration of hauntology and liminal spaces as a means of reflecting on childhood experiences and making peace with the versions of the self that will never exist. By combining a classical approach to realism and portraiture with elements of internet horror and early 2000s aesthetics, their work seeks to resonate with other twenty-somethings who are trying to make sense of the past, present, and future.
