His work is influenced by a punk/DIY aesthetic, with inspirations ranging from Nirvana to rom-coms .
Beyond visual art, Ganjei has ventured into various creative fields. He authored Film Ideas, a collection of humorous film pitches, and Art Is The Thing Nobody Asked You To Do, offering a radical take on the artist’s manifesto . His short films have aired on Channel 4, and he hosts the radio show “Hot Mess” on NTS Radio .
Ganjei’s exhibitions, such as Thanks for Having Me at Liverpool’s Bluecoat, reflect on his life and career, often incorporating elements like re-staged market stalls to comment on his journey as an artist . His ability to intertwine personal narrative with broader cultural commentary makes his work both relatable and thought-provoking.
