Kylie Marume is a multi-disciplinary artist based in based between London and Hamburg. Through loud nude bodies, her storytelling practice tackles identity by reflecting on personal experiences interweaving vulnerability and defiance. The bizarre and absurd depictions are in-your-face, humorous and confrontational. Primarily a painter, her practice includes digital works,  sculpture, and writing. She is pursuing a BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, and is expected to graduate in 2025.

Artist statement:

I paint allegorical self-portraits that explore identity, religion, sexuality, and the destigmatisation of the body. My confrontational work often features multiple versions of myself in unsettling, fictitious environments that interweave humour, vulnerability, and defiance. Through metaphorical bodily depictions, I challenge dominant narratives, particularly around Black womanhood and the conflicts embedded in my existence, centering triumph over subordination. Though painting is my main practice, I embrace a multidisciplinary, ever-evolving voice.
