The 32nd recipient of The Creatives Grant is Ivilina Kouneva. Ivilina sent us a selection of her new paintings. Instead of throwing older, discarded works away, she was inserting them into her new paintings as cut out shapes. These jagged, twisted shapes that made colourful abstracts out of body, form, colour. Mythic shapes and fantasy spaces with mystery, magic and real actual energy. This ongoing fluid process where work could live on in new forms, constantly evolving and shifting. We found it so exciting, and we’re really glad to be able to support Ivilina’s practice in this way.

This grant used to be exclusively for writers but we recently opened it up to all working class creatives based in the UK. Please apply! + stay up to date here
