Jasmine Christie
Jasmine Christie graduated with a BA(Hons) in Painting from Edinburgh College of Art in 2021 and now works as a freelance multimedia artist in Manchester, UK.
Jasmine is intrigued by the notion of the figure of the artist as simultaneously the divine and the insane. They create immersive and introspective physical and digital works that invite the viewer to consider their place as a voyeur in their creative process; the images themselves are a jumping-off point through which the viewer glimpses into their own psychological landscape.
Jasmine is interested in the abstraction of linear timelines and how time and reality are shaped and altered by our perception of them: we are all the unreliable narrator of our own lives and, arguably, can therefore not even trust our own minds.
Jasmine’s interests lie primarily in 20th century Abstract Expressionism, rave culture, and neo-noir illustration. They enjoy merging these concepts to create a hybrid of traditional and contemporary art practices, all with the intention of honouring the legacy of the melancholic artist in modern society. They co-curated their first independent exhibition, ‘One With Everything’ in Edinburgh, Scotland in April 2023 and are represented by Barcelona-based Galería Agaphe, exhibiting in international exhibitions across 2023 and 2024.
