Aqsa Arif uses the interdisciplinary mediums of poetry, photography, installation, printmaking and film to construct complex structures in which she explores the surreal nature of the human psyche. Her work draws from cinema as a medium, as she uses its architectural and spatial characteristics to represent states of mind which cannot be fully understood through rational study.
Graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 2019, she received a First-Class degree in Painting and Printmaking and now serves as founder and committee member of SaltSpace Co-operative and the Studio Manager for Alberta Whittle. Exhibitions include, that sinking feeling, Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow (Sep 21 – Jan 22), Her Wild Reflections, Jupiter Artland (2021), RSA New Contemporaries 2020 and ‘Come Together’ at Tate Modern, London.
