Niki Tse (b.2001, Hong Kong) is an artist living and working in London. She is interested in creating spaces that meditate on memory and the transient nature of time. Exploring sentimentality, nostalgia, and the ephemeral, she hopes to traverse the in-between, hoping to capture the intangible. Niki’s practice is primarily rooted in drawing. Her interest in using graphite as both a dry and wet medium furthers her exploration into the relationship between chance and intention, and in doing so - painting and drawing.

 

Working from memory, life, sound, and feeling, Niki seeks for traces that speak to the act of remembering, and our collective longing for something to last: something to ultimately hold onto. Her practice strives to arouse, both within the viewer and herself: tenderness, wonder, and serenity.

 

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.
