Dorrell Merritt is a London-based writer and visual artist.
Formerly an arts journalist, his critical essays, interviews and reviews have been published by Frieze, BOMB Magazine, The Guardian, Artforum, ArtReview, Huck Magazine, Hunger Magazine, Dazed Digital, Photomonitor and more. His editorial focus remains on personal essays examining the intricacies of contemporary culture, as well as his debut short fiction collection.
As a visual artist, his practice, rooted in analogue photography, spans moving-image, graphic design, wheatpasting and text, with nature, isolation, narration
and voyeurism as recurring themes within his work.
He has self-published a number of poetry collections, as well as designed and edited photographic conversation series, SEED Monograph and tattoo conversation series, Quo Vadis, along with other printed matter and ephemera, stocked by The Photographers' Gallery, Tate Modern Bookshop, and Slanted.de, amongst others.
