Jamie Kirk (b.'95) is an artist from London, living and working in the North West of England.
His work explores the interaction between hard edged shapes and loose, gestural action, to convey uncertain depth, texture and disciplined excess.
By allowing certain aspects to spontaneously dictate themselves, pockets of expressive mark making float amongst suggestions of familiar imagery in an imagined space of turbulence.
Kirk uses a range of materials and procedures, working by hand and digitally to extend and expand upon the process from start to finish.
