Jamie Kirk (b.'95) is an artist from London, living and working in Cheshire. 
The initial concepts in his practice usually originate from introspective observations and commentary on social conventions. He translates these into quick, small and informal drawings to form the foundation for much larger and complex paintings, which are essentially abstract self portraits.
Tongue in cheek phrases, puns, double entendres and a general appreciation for language also inspire his work, with many of his paintings’ titles alluding to their conception.
He currently uses a combination of oil, acrylic and spray paint on canvas, layering these within the confines of precisely masked areas to achieve a palimpsestic aesthetic.
