Dexter Navy
London-born film director and photographer Dexter Navy presents an uncensored vision of 21st-century youth culture. His aesthetic derives from a joint Egyptian and English heritage that taught him to combine the fields of art, craft, and design. His interdisciplinary practice incorporates far-out, cosmic imagery with cutting trippy visuals.
He has worked with musicians including A$AP Rocky, Travi$ Scott, Drake, M.I.A and Sampha among others, and has been nominated for a VMA and a Grammy for his music video for A$AP Rocky’s ‘L$D’.
His editorial clients include i-D, Dazed, Wall Street Journal, Twin Magazine, Epoch, Vogue, 10 Magazine, Hero Magazine, Esquire, Interview and Office. Commercial clients include Dior, Louis Vuitton, Nike, Adidas, Rick Owens, Alexander Wang, Karl Lagerfeld, Mains, Pigalle, Stüssy, Converse, Supreme, Vivienne Westwood and Bape.
Navy presented his debut exhibition of photographic works, ‘36’, at Hoxton Gallery in 2014.
