Niki Tse (b.2001, Hong Kong) is an artist living and working in London. Exploring time, memory, and the ephemeral, her practice seeks the Thread that seemingly weave people, places, and things together.  

​

Having grown up in Hong Kong, a port city where people, places, and happenings come and go by the day has made a lasting impression on Niki’s feelings towards impermanence and temporality. Niki hopes to traverse the in-between, searching for ways to capture and make sense of a certain place and atmosphere through a practice primarily rooted in drawing, approaching her work with slow, ritual markmaking drawn from natural forms that hold a certain energy or dynamism. Lately, she has been drawn to remnants, trails, and traces, hoping to seek way for the presence of entities in her life to come into her work organically - for the traces they leave behind held and preserved.  

​

Working from memory, life, sound, and feeling, Niki's practice hopes to speak to the act of remembering and our collective longing for something to last, something to ultimately hold onto.

Niki holds a first-class degree in fine art from Newcastle University, and is a recent graduate from The Drawing Year at The Royal Drawing School. Her work is held in The Royal Collection and the Moritz-Heyman Collection.
