Niamh Birch

Underpinned by a light-heartedness and humour, Niamh's subject matter nods towards traditional still life whilst addressing everyday associations through mischievous imagery, domestic spaces and thick, impasto lines.

Born and raised in North Devon, Niamh developed a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of her surroundings, which continues to influence her work. A First Class Honours graduate in Contemporary Arts Practice, Niamh has rightly made a name for herself in the art world. Her unique style combines elements of abstract expressionism and figurative art, resulting in vibrant and expressive paintings that capture the essence of everyday life.

Niamh's work often draws inspiration from her memories, conversations and observations of the world around her. She skillfully blends bold colours, expressive brushstrokes and intricate details to create visually stunning and thought-provoking pieces. Her paintings feature recurring motifs such as wine bottles, cat silhouettes and umbrellas, adding a sense of familiarity and nostalgia to her work.

Niamh's work has been featured in various publications and online platforms, gaining recognition from art enthusiasts and collectors alike. It has been shown as part of solo and group exhibitions, notably a showcase of British Art entitled 'British Art at Albermarle' curated by the designer Paul Smith to coincide with Frieze London 2023.

Currently, Niamh works from her studio in East London, creating new and exciting pieces that reflect her evolving artistic vision. Her passion for art and her commitment to exploring new ideas make her a promising artist to watch in the years to come.
