Lives and works in New Haven, USA
Soren Hope was born on Long Island, NY, and holds a BA in Studio Art from Carleton College (2015). Hope’s practice focuses on the body as a site of uncertainty. With oil paint on stretched canvas and paneI, their work depicts images of bodily disarray or interruption. Imagery of costumes, pranks, double meanings, and incidental resemblances further test the trustworthiness of perception. The artist exhibited their first solo show at Duck Creek Arts Center in Springs, New York in September 2018.
