Alma Berrow British, b. 1992

Alma Berrow’s (b. 1992, United Kingdom) works are often inspired by intimate day-to-day experiences from her formative years. Her nostalgic and sometimes uncanny artistic vocabulary is inextricably linked to personal memory. Berrow’s practice re-investigates the genre of still life through portrayal of contemporary taboos and zeit-geist revealed by the ubiquitous pocket litter left behind. Berrow succeeds in her ability to transform ordinary objects into art pieces that are both humorous and other-worldly beautiful.

Berrow lives and works in London, previously attending Falmouth University for Art and Textiles. It was over her first lockdown, due to Covid-19, that she began to explore ceramics as her primary medium. Since then, Berrow has participated in a number of solo and group shows, including “Seeing Red” Philips, London (2024); “Echo” LAMB, London (2023); “Smooth Sailing” Sapling, London (2023); “From Dust you came and to Dust you shall return” Galería Hilario Galguera, Mexico City (2022); No More Than Five, LAMB, London (2022)

In 2021, Berrow was part of Sotheby’s (Women) Artists auction, with her work presented alongside works by Lavinia Fontana, Dorothea Tanning, Cindy Sherman and Helen Frankenthaler.
