Art for Ukraine

Salomé W is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice involves oil painting, printing on silk, installations, and performance. As a teenager, Salomé admired a teacher who encouraged her to pursue training in calligraphy and painting. Her work examines otherworldliness through translations and ever-evolving reinterpretations of a personal anthology, formed from her observation of time, fragility, and the interplay between reality and the unseen. Understanding herself primarily as a global citizen, Salomé works to keep her art devoid of contemporary models of identification and taxonomy, relying on obliquely biomorphic figures to populate her work. Across mediums, she presents a nonlinear journey, weaving together seemingly disparate moments to unveil previously concealed narratives. 

Salomé (b. 1996) lives and works in London. She holds BA in Textile Design from the Chelsea College of Arts (2019), an MFA in Printmaking from Camberwell College of Arts (2020), and is currently working towards an MFA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in London. Salomé has exhibited widely with galleries in London, including Guts Gallery, Delphian Gallery, Wilder Gallery, All Mouth Gallery, and Studio West. She is currently also completing the She Curates X CloverMill Residency at the Spread Museum in Entreveaux, France.
