About

Hello, my name is Mia Grassie-Clarke. I am a current student at Goldsmiths University studying Fine Art. I received my BFA in Fine Art at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Some exhibitions I have had my work shown in include The Metropolitan Museum of Art as one of the Scholastic gold medal awardees, the National Arts Club in New York as part of the Will Barnett exhibition, and most recently I was included in a group show Threshold at No Format Gallery in London. 

Mia is exploring the bounds of the canvas as well as the action of painting as a way to re-frame expressions of the female body. The use of unconventional stretching methods along with expressive painting and sculpture elements show the ways in which both the artist and the viewer can embody a painting in multiple dimensions. Looking outwards to a door frame and inwards to the bones you can see layers of critical thinking about the space and mark making. Through a varied use of material she is exploring the viscerality of the every day from a feminine gaze.
