About me

Operating at the intersection of collage, research and consultancy. London based visual artist and editor Tagen Donovan conducts projects underpinned by the contemporary culture that informs the environment around her. Donovan has developed and produced editorial artwork for key figures within print and digital distribution, spanning primarily across fashion, design and art. Harnessing a unique approach to projects ranging in complex and elaborate processes of old, finely tuned with a modern perspective. Donovan teeters in an in-between space of fine art and content creation. Defining a multidisciplinary swoop amongst bespoke commissions in both commercial and independent spaces. Working across a variety of artistic disciplines, Donovan brings a considered approach to client-based and self-motivated projects. Offering a multitude of possibilities to explore in the realm of concept building, creative consultancy, design and fashion specific narratives. Calling upon her years working as Editor at Le Mile Magazine, a sincere passion for publications informs much of Donovan's body of work. Concentrating on a maximalist approach to the collage faction of her overarching discipline. Clients include Freitag, Detjer, Puma, Yun, Novembre, Le Mile, Notion, Central Saint Martins, Teeth Magazine, StrangeLove NYC, Lilienthal Berlin, LSTW, Maison Kitsune and Meissen.
