Romi Thornton (b.2000, London) is a contemporary installation artist. She graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts in 2023, having previously completed her Foundation Diploma at Leeds Arts University. Since graduating Romi has exhibited her Ballardian-style, satirical scenes in New York and London and in January 2024 was awarded with a six month artist residency at The Muse Gallery, London to develop her practice.
Romi’s practice explores speculative fiction through 3D-rendered animation, audio-visual installation and performance. She incorporates the aesthetics and processes of meme-making, marketing, gaming and social media. Her research has taken an introspective look at our relationship with the online world. Romi sets scenes which investigate nostalgic, cyber-spatial devotion and explores how role playing environments can become a portal for changing our avatars and confessing our sins.
