Natasha Peel utilizes industrial processes of the factory combined with the force of the human body within her practice. Peel explores the elasticity and malleability of material, primarily with the use of heat-treated Perspex, which when subjected to heat becomes pliable and can be manipulated with bodily pressure and other instruments. "The formalist language and architecture of extraterritorial corporate society brings to mind the reductive aesthetics of constructivism and suprematism, which rehearses for us the institutional fate of the avant-garde. Through this inherited avant-gardist impulse, it is not only the environment that is viewed as malleable material to be molded, shaped or sculpted, human beings themselves are treated as elastic material to be formed as an artificial construct. Thus structures bear down on society in the same way that society has the capacity to create and recreate these structures. This relationship is reciprocal and the extrasensory environment provides a platform for their convergence." Born in 1990, Natasha Peel grew up in Russia until the age of nine, subsequently moving to Lancashire, North West England. She attended The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, University of Oxford between 2009 and 2012 followed by a Masters at The Courtauld Institute of Art graduating in 2013. Recent exhibitions include 'New Order: British Art Today' Saatchi Gallery and 'New Sensations' Victoria House.
