Naomi Campbell

Naomi Andrée Campbell’s interdisciplinary practice explores natural systems of the body, its environment and how this is subjectively translated through our senses, employing a wide variety of techniques and materials ranging from X-rays to ice to paint. Campbell’s malleable worlds inspire and connect in, as much as create gaps through, a layered look at memory, perception, identity and permanence as constructs that guide her practice and philosophy. Campbell subverts expectation, forcing questions to arise rather than providing answers. A background in art and science prompted the adoption of this open-ended approach intrinsic to her work. Continually questioning the world through the changing lens of global conditions has resulted in a range of work discussing long-standing investigations into areas of environmental science.

Naomi Andrée Campbell (born in Montreal, Canada) lives and works in Brooklyn. Campbell’s work is found in permanent public collections including the MTA Arts for Transit, New York and The New York Public Library. She has contributed to American Artist, Artscape and Linea Art Journal and her work has been included in numerous publications including Art Students League of New York on Painting. Campbell has exhibited at Denise Bibro Fine Arts, New York; Asian Contemporary Art Fair, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Croatia and represented by Yellow Peril Gallery at SCOPE Miami and New York. She is a visiting critic at Vytlacil Residency Program and has been a guest speaker at Lehman College and Pratt Institute, and an instructor at the Art Students League of New York since 2007.
