Aimee Parrott
Aimee Parrott (b.1987). Organic motifs – seeds, feathers, plants – permeate Aimée Parrott’s work. Her forms suggest a sense of movement and allude to growth. Her abstract work suggests interconnectivity with the environment, where unnamable microbial forms add to the overall impression of a relationship between the micro and the macro, evolution and deep time. While her work may read like abstractions her sensitivity to/for representational motifs reveal her interest in the transformations observed in ecological or geological structures and other matter.
Recent works continue to explore the disjunction between internal sensations and exterior impressions with works that hover between gesture and form, suggesting hybridity, metamorphosis and a symbiotic blurring of boundaries. Many employ natural materials, plant-based dyes and inks.
Aimée Parrott studied at University College Falmouth and Royal Academy Schools. Recent solo exhibitions include Parafin, London (2023), Mackintosh Lane, London (2022), Broadway Gallery, Letchworth Garden City (2020) and Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London (2018). She has participated in numerous group exhibitions including Thread Suns: Anna Higgins and Aimee Parrott, Ione & Mann, London (2025), The Conference of the Birds at Tristan Hoare Gallery, London (2022), Superpower at Sim Smith Gallery, London (2022), Secret of Lightness at Parafin, London (2022) and ‘The Studio at 4am’ at Hastings Contemporary (2020). In 2024 one of Parrott’s paintings was acquired by the Arts Council Collection.
