Sonya Derviz (b.1994) produces paintings that are shifting and layered – often obliterated into her own dialect of soft chaos. Her compositions react to collated, ephemeral visual sources, from her surroundings, found drawings, illustrations, paintings and film stills. Focusing not on the image as a whole, but on the specific elements contained within it, she draws in and repeatedly readjusts these pictures until they dissipate into new metaphysical shapes. This fragmentation allows her to consider these strands as if solely visual, re-writing them into an intuitive artistic language that veers towards expression and emotion over linearity and fixed ideas. Derviz has exhibited solo exhibitions at Sherbet Green, V.O Curations and Daniel Benjamin Gallery, as well as numerous national and international group exhibitions. She has been recipient of UCL Dean’s List, the Stanbury Prize, and the UCL Art Museum Award.
