Sophie Kitching, a French-British artist born on the Isle of Wight, creates paintings, installations and sculptures that encapsulate natural phenomena, reacting to her environment through found materials, colors, and forms. Merging nature and architecture, her work explores landscape as an active medium, intertwining territory and memory. Committed to producing spaces rather than images, Sophie Kitching’s compositions draw the viewer into a negotiation with space and depth, the seen and unseen, alternating between gestural brushstrokes, and raw material structure, where different realities coincide.

Sophie Kitching graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2014 and studied at the School of Visual Arts, New York in Fine Arts in 2012. Alongside numerous exhibitions across the world, she has received awards, participated in residencies in France and the US, published a monographic catalogue, “Nuits Américaines” with Lienart in 2017, and was featured in “Picasso et les Contemporains”, a catalogue published by Musée de Vence in 2018, and has received international press coverage (Le Figaro, Vogue Scandinavia, Whitewall, Crash Magazine, Forbes, L’Officiel, Artpress, Elle Decoration UK, Numero, Town & Country, Art Observed, Point Contemporain, Citizen K…). In 2017, Sophie Kitching designed sets for Kader Bélarbi’s ballet production “Don Quichotte” at the Opéra National du Capitole in Toulouse. In 2018-2022, she was awarded a studio residency as part of Painting Space 122 in New York City. Sophie Kitching has recently collaborated with the oldest Champagne brand House of Ruinart during Frieze NY 2022 in the exhibition “Maison 1729” and created a series of Second Skin Magnum bottles. In 2023, she was invited by the Italian Jewelry brand BVLGARI as their US-based artist to create a capsule collection to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of their “Serpenti” icon.
