Jack Gwyer (b. 1996) is a London-based artist concerned with the psychological imprint of architectural space. His work explores how memory and identity form around objects and transitional environments.
Through layered surfaces and subtle shifts in perspective, Gwyer renders the built environment as a quiet theatre of tension, where desire and decay overlap. His work invites reflection on how memory attaches to place—and how the atmospheres of once-functional spaces continue to shape our inner worlds.
