Naomi Frears
Painter and filmmaker · St Ives
Contemplative narratives in painting and film
“We have admired and collected Naomi’s paintings for many years. Her paintings tell complex, deeply contemplative stories.” – Darshana Shilpi Rouget,
Founder
Based at Porthmeor Studios in St Ives, Cornwall, Naomi works across painting, printmaking, film, and collaborative curatorial projects. Her work has been shown widely in solo and group exhibitions, with film commissions including Night After Night, Men Falling, and Somebody Loves Us All. She has undertaken large-scale projects for institutions such as Bethlem Royal Hospital and her work regularly appears on the cover of the London Review of Books. Her practice is held in public and private collections, including The Government Art Collection, and in 2023 she was nominated for the Film London Jarman Award for artists moving image.
We chose an outlier among her paintings, and it is no less captivating.
