Nina Baxter
"My current work includes portraiture, still life and larger figurative compositions which highlight everyday moments of quiet euphoria, self-reflection, and interpersonal relationships." - Nina Baxter
Nina Baxter's paintings are meditations on her everyday thoughts, feelings, struggles, and pleasures. Working from photos taken during her day-to-day, her oil paintings celebrate and elevate small moments in delicate detail. The titles she chooses add a narrative element to the work, leaving room for personal interpretation by positioning the viewer in the first-person perspective.
Having spent years previously absorbed in a world of abstract forms and geometric shapes, Baxter's new work marks a return to figurative painting and intimate subjects. Her work is an exploration of love, intimacy, and self that hopes to be evocative of both deeply personal feelings and our shared human experience.
Nina Baxter (b. 1992) received a BA in Art History from the Courtauld Institute of Art in 2013 and currently lives and works in London.
