JEN O’FARRELL (b.1990, Liverpool) is an artist living and working in London. O’Farrell’s abstract works formally evoke the topographies of industrial inner-city landscapes, remote terrains and geological formations, using materials sourced directly from both urban and natural sites. By embedding locality into the very fabric of the work, O’Farrell’s practice pays poetic homage to these environments, while also reflecting more widely on issues of ecological decline, the extractive exploitation of raw materials and the fault lines of concrete capitalism.

Her work has been exhibited at South London Gallery, London; The V&A Museum, London; Nicoletti Contemporary, London. Residencies include La Wayaka Current, Atacama Desert, Chile, and Conditions Studio Programme, London.
