Noah Pryke (b.1991), studied at the Royal Drawing School, London (2025) and lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. His approach to making centres around painting and drawing, with a studio practice that covers a diverse range of technique and materials, grounded in ideas around mark making and the interactions between artist and material that bring art to life. He is interested in the 'play' of imagery, working with metaphor and leaning on an instinctive process.
