“An explosive burst of fluoro screenprints and monoprints with riot grrrl attitude that comment on women’s place in popular culture”

Kelda Storm is a contemporary artist based in London whose practice embodies a post-digital sentiment. Creating her own visual language, she explores themes of femininity and representation through layers of colour, text, and imagery.

Deliberately subtle and infused with humour. Kelda's work is vibrant, colourful, and playful. While also conveying deeper underlying messages that form the foundation of her artistic practice. This playful duality makes Kelda's work resonate with and captivate audiences.

Imagery often repeats throughout Kelda’s practice, Yet, the meaning changes with the juxtaposition of visuals, text and colour. Lips, perhaps the ultimate feminine iconography, serve both to sexualise and sensualise. They are also a symbol of voice and freedom.

Kelda uses screenprint as a fine art medium rather than a tool for mass production. Throughout this analogue printing process, Kelda works freely with her silk screens to experiment with colour, composition, and layer order. This method allows for spontaneity and surprise in the finished pieces. The number of screen prints produced is always limited and are becoming increasingly collectable.

In addition to screen printing, Kelda creates abstract works on canvas. Bold and ambiguous, Kelda's painted works carry meaning yet are expressionistic. These paintings adopt a similar approach to colour, layering, and composition as her prints, but the process is much more fluid.

Kelda holds an MA in Visual Art: Fine Art Digital from UAL Camberwell College of Arts.

‘I love images like Kelda’s that make you think and that force you stop and consider the deeper meaning’
