About Alicia Reyes McNamara

Alicia Reyes McNamara’s work is an investigation of folklore and rituals around loss, mourning and healing, in which beings and landscapes mutate and shapeshift, creating a personal imaginary of forms of embodiment. Their practice examines the potential of how all things can transcend their own definition and acquire a new life or meaning.

Reyes McNamara completed her MFA at University of Oxford in 2016. She was selected to be a part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2016, South London Gallery Graduate Residency 2017 and Gasworks Fellowship 2018. Solo exhibitions have included Lismore Castle Arts; Ireland, The London Open at Whitechapel Gallery and Niru Ratnam Gallery which she is represented by.
