Charlie Masson undertook a BA in fine
art degree at the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago, followed by a postgraduate
qualification at the Royal Drawing School and
an MA at Camberwell College, University of the
Arts, London. His work has been seen in group
exhibitions in London, New York, Paris and Rome.

This is a self-portrait of the artist seen in the screen
of his mobile phone. Phones and tablets are
often used as impromptu mirrors, although the
artist comments that they have also ‘become
an extension of our bodies, containing all sorts
of information pertaining to our identity.’
