Katherine Tulloh is an artist and educator living and working in Hackney. She believes in helping young artists find their voice through experimental and imaginative projects that develop creativity in a fun way, through art and writing. She is a painter and filmmaker, winner of the Swedenborg Society’s Best Experimental Film 2010 for All Night My Dreams, which was also shown at White Cube as part of Dreamers Awake in 2020. Recent exhibitions include Snake Milk, Minkowski Space, 2020, Interior Day, Broadway Bookshop, 2020, and Sciomancy, Transition Gallery, 2017. Her work embraces narrative and explores the physicality of paint. Her current paintings, to be exhibited in Spring 2024, focus on early rave culture, its visual echoes of early Renaissance painting, and how the city, constantly reconfigured, manifests the ghosts of these past intense dance spaces.
