Jamie Nares is a British-born, New York-based artist acclaimed for her innovative approach to painting, film, and performance. Best known for her sweeping, gestural brushstroke paintings created in a single, fluid motion, Nares blends calligraphic precision with physical movement to capture the essence of time and motion on canvas. A central figure in New York’s downtown art scene since the 1970s, Nares has also produced influential experimental films and video works. Her art has been exhibited at major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and is held in prestigious collections worldwide. Nares continues to push the boundaries of mark-making, merging artistic disciplines with a uniquely kinetic vision.
