Artist Statement:

Bio:

Thea Wolf is a London-based artist who explores intersectional concepts through abstract painting, digital processes such as Augmented Reality, and video installations, as well as digital prints featuring simple geometric and organic shapes. Thea takes current and relatable events and communicates them in her work to evoke an emotional response by physically and metaphorically layering. “I want people to experience a reaction to my work, transcending into an emotive space!”

Exploring the concept of social and physical dislocation, reflection, and digital spaces, Thea focuses on the conversation between the “reality” of her physical work and digital work. She does this through abstract acrylic and oil paintings on canvas or aluminium, screen prints, digital processes, and Augmented Reality videos with complex geometric and organic shapes. OP-Art and New Technologies largely inspire Thea’s work. Thea’s current works are a series of pieces exploring abstraction and illusions. They focus on emotive space, a translation from digital into physical work, and on-screen - and off-screen effects. Thea strives to evoke an emotional response by layering both physically and metaphorically.

Since her BA in Fine Art at Camberwell College of Arts, Thea has been an integral part of the art community in Peckham. For the duration of her Master’s degree, she divides her time between her studio space in Peckham and the Royal College of Arts in Battersea, London. Thea has exhibited at the Women Biennial at Copeland Gallery and regularly participates in art fairs such as the London Design Festival, as well as private local galleries. In 2023, Thea completed a short course in curation at Central St. Martins. She also earned a certificate at the Royal College of Arts course ‘Present Futures’, Virtual and Augmented Reality and AI in Art. Currently, she is doing her Master’s at the Royal College of Art in Painting 24/25.’
