Fiona Curran (b.1971, Manchester, UK) reads Philosophy at the University of Manchester before studying at Manchester School of Art and the Slade School of Fine Art, she teaches at the Royal College of Art in London and works from her studio in Hertfordshire.

Curran’s practice is rooted in painting but moves outwards to explore collage and the use of an expanded range of materials and processes, including textiles and site-specific installation. Her work is about an experience of landscape beyond the scenic “view,” towards a broader sense of place that is more attuned to feeling, memory and attention. Curran is also interested in the ways that screen-based technologies are impacting our embodied engagement with our environment through the flattening of space, the compression of time and the manipulation of perception and attention. Her work often references ideas of enclosure - in relation to both landscape and perception – using the division of space through materials and colour, alongside explorations of placement, view and frame.

Curran’s artworks have been regularly showing across the UK, large scale public commissions including The Contemporary Art Society for Turing Locke in Cambridge (2022), Newcastle University and The National Trust for Gibside, Gateshead (2018). Curran is showing two strong solo exhibitions of new body of works internationally in New York and Space of Time Gallery, Beijing.
