Biography

Nour el Saleh graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art with a First Class Honours in Painting in 2019. She has since had solo and group shows with galleries such as Edel Assanti, V.O Curations and Lowell Ryan Projects. Nour’s process depended solely on her imagination and memory until she joined the Royal Drawing School in 2021 to challenge the boundaries between imagination and observation. Her studio practice now utilises an archive of drawings she has made from life and art to enrich her hyper-dramatic compositions exploring ugliness and satire.
