Simone Brewster is a British artist working at the intersection of contemporary art, design and architecture.

Artist, Simone Brewster, is sat in front of one of her large abstract paintings. The abstract painting features soft, colourful gestural brushtrokes representing abstracted female forms and internal psychological and emotional landscapes

Through sculpture, furniture and installation, Brewster explores identity, memory, belonging and cultural inheritance, creating what she describes as intimate architectures—objects and spaces that mediate our relationship to ourselves, our environments and one another.

Brewster's practice explores the ways objects shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us. Drawing on architecture, material culture and Black British and Afro-Caribbean histories, she creates sculptures, furniture and installations that exist between function and ritual.

She describes these works as intimate architectures—objects and spaces that mediate our relationship to ourselves, our environments and one another.
