Christina Kimeze

Biography

Christina Kimeze often works on suede, velvet and Lubugo bark cloth to explore questions of interiority, oneness and belonging. During The Drawing Year she started making wax models to work from alongside her drawings from life, memory and found imagery; to explore awkwardness in the body, as a signal of what has just been or is to come, as a way of navigating space and forging connection.  

Christina Kimeze lives and works in London. Kimeze studied on The Royal Drawing School’s postgraduate programme in 2021-22 where she was awarded the Sir Denis Mahon Award. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Oxford in Biological Sciences.
