Fleur Dempsey (b. 1994)
Fleur Dempsey was born in London 1994, and grew up in Dorset, UK. She graduated from Central Saint Martins with a BA in Fine Art in 2016 and is currently completing her Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy Schools (2024).
Fleur is a multidisciplinary artist working with painting, sculpture, photography and installation. Fleur’s work recognises the importance of slow looking, as she attends to objects over a long period of time. Her work examines the language of the macro and the micro; distance and detail, ideas and experience. Dempsey uses her processes in the studio as a way to realise and track time. Viewing her paintings like diary entries to capture a time of day, a feeling or a memory; we become placed in a moment.
Recent exhibitions include: How much the present moment means (2023) Incubator (London), Flow: Materiality in Motion (2023) SET Kensington (London), RA Summer Exhibition (2023) Royal Academy of Arts (London), Cement Garden (2023) Asylum Studios (Suffolk), and Premiums Interim 1 (2023) Royal Academy of Arts (London).
