Bid the Gap

Introducing Kira McCarthy

McCarthy is a visual artist based in London whose practice utilises painting, photography and film to bring to light the power and potential of female relationships. Kira believes female connections are an incredibly crucial aspect of survival against modern-day society due to their uncompromising ability to provide nurture, safety, comfort and love. By portraying scenes of simultaneous intimacy and disconnect, Kira believes such visual conflicts are needed to urge the viewer to question what happens when these alliances are tested.
