About the Artist
Florence Peake is a London-based artist who has been working since 1995. She makes solo and group performance works intertwined with an extensive visual art practice.

Peake has exhibited and presented performance internationally at: Edinburgh Fruitmarket, Towner Gallery (2024), National Gallery (2021), Hayward Gallery’s touring British Art Show 9 (2021). Gropius Bae, Berlin (2022) Venice Biennale 2019; CRAC Occitanie, Sète, France (2018), and many others.
