Grace Atkins

I am a painter based in Winchester, specialising in the relationships of moving figures through scenes that are both theatrical and rooted in everyday life . I graduated in 2025 with First Class Honours in BA Fine Art from Winchester School of Art and received the Stephen Heffer Memorial and the Platform Graduate Award. Working primarily in oil paint, I use a rich colour palette and expressive mark-making to disrupt our perception of familiar images. Drawing upon subjects such as film, sport, and the beauty of the everyday, I use a variety of sources to fragment and distort through paint. storytelling and narrative lie at the heart of my practice, as I aim to capture and reveal what it means to be human today.
