Victoria Cantons, born and based in London, completed her MFA at Slade School of Fine Art in 2021. Cantons was the only child to immigrant parents in a multi cultural and religious home – her mother from Madrid and Catholic, her father French Algerian born to Jewish and Basque parents. Drawing on sources including poetry, Renaissance art, and film and music, exploring the human condition is at the core of Cantons’s work. She has a multidisciplinary practice that takes in painting, neon, text, performance, photography and video, worked through a filter of thinking about presence and absence, language, the elegiac and the memento mori, connecting and disconnecting psychological boundaries in the relationships we have with ourselves and others.
