Fleur Dempsey All Artworks – Copyright © 2025-2026 Fleur Dempsey

Artist Biography

Fleur Dempsey (b. 1994, London, UK) is an artist based in Dorset, where she lives and works. Her practice is centred on painting and explores the relationship between sensory perception and contemplation through line and colour.

She graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins in 2016, during which she undertook an Erasmus exchange at the Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam.

Following her BA, she was accepted onto the Acme Studios two-year Associate Programme in London, and later completed her Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy Schools in 2024.

Dempsey’s work has developed through a sustained engagement with process, material, and observation. Her paintings begin with a lined structure, similar to notepaper, onto which colour is gradually built. Working through layering, repetition, and subtle variation, she develops surfaces that register shifts in tone and rhythm.

She has exhibited widely in London, across the UK, and in Paris, including Notes, Ilenia, London (2025); The Yellow Wallpaper, Incubator, London (2025); Silk, General Assembly, London (2025); Dempsey, Dreher, Hodgkin, Safia Maksud, Salter and Whiteread, Huxley-Parlour, London (2025); RA Schools Show, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2024); Mind to Hand, Incubator, London (2024); How much the present moment means, Incubator, London (2023); RA Summer Exhibition, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2023); and Premiums Interim 1, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2023).

Through a slow and considered approach to painting, Dempsey’s work builds gradually, with variations in line, colour, and gesture across the surface.

My work is shaped by moments such as a shift in light during a walk, a line of prose, a fragment of music, a photograph, or a memory. These impressions are carried into the painting, where they inform structures of line, colour, and surface.

Artist Statement

In the studio, I work with a consistent framework, building colour gradually, line by line. The paintings evolve through layering and adjustment, allowing each mark to respond to what is already present. Decisions around rhythm, spacing, and colour emerge through this process.

Horizontally oriented bands, gradations of tone, and rhythmic repetitions recur in my work, functioning as measures of perception. These formal devices are not strictly representational, yet they often evoke landscapes, atmospheres, or the passage of a day. Repetition establishes a sense of order, which is adjusted through subtle shifts in colour and arrangement, allowing a sense of duration to emerge, with time embedded in the work.

I use these structures to explore temporality and the rhythms and cycles inherent in both external and internal experience.

Repeated patterns suggest accumulation and continuity, while also allowing for subtle shifts that mirror the ways memory and perception fluctuate over time.

Although each piece may originate from a specific experience, the formal language of line, colour, and repetition allows the work to extend beyond the particular. I am interested in this tension between the specific and the universal.

The paintings become spaces for reflection, where perception slows and attention is directed toward subtle shifts in tone, surface, and structure. I see this engagement as an essential component of the work, where the painting is not only a record of experience but an environment that can be inhabited and reflected upon over time.

Artist Statement (cont.)

My work is informed by a wide range of sources. Literature, poetry, and music provide emotional and conceptual points of departure, while the natural world offers a continuous reference for observation, rhythm, and change. I am interested in how sensory experiences, visual, auditory, and tactile, can be translated into material marks, and how everyday observations contribute to an ongoing exploration of pattern, rhythm, and the nuances of light and colour.

The studio process is deliberately slow and meditative. I build surfaces through layering, reworking, and careful attention to each intervention. This sustained process allows for the emergence of nuance and the recording of gesture and thought.

It is through this attention that the work finds its balance between intuition and structure, and between spontaneity and deliberation.

I hope my work creates a space where viewers can engage in their own reflection, noticing subtle shifts of tone, texture, and rhythm. It encourages quiet contemplation and a slower mode of looking. In this sense, the act of viewing becomes part of the work’s temporal dimension, where perception unfolds as a gradual and shifting process.

Notably, it differs significantly from Armenian architectural and wall painting traditions prior to their relocation to Isfahan in 1604. The origins and reasons for these changes remain debated. Despite its significance, the building has not been thoroughly studied in terms of its design, structure and decoration.

9782503621845 Hardback EUR 150.00 Starkmann Price EUR 135.00 The figurative arts are interested in music in many ways. If we consider the hierarchy of genres, particularly formalised at the end of the 17th century with the advent of the academies, music is present in religious subjects, historical and mythological themes, the performing arts, genre scenes, portraits and still lifes. All these visual traces of music raise questions about the place of music among the other arts, and about its social and symbolic importance. The contributions gathered here reflect this diversity during the 17th and 18th centuries in Italy, France, Germany, Spain and Austria.

Alain Badiou ed. by Ray Brassier & Alberto Toscano. 4 vols.

Oxford: Routledge, 2026. 1736pp.

(Critical Assessments of Leading Philosophers) 9781138890015 Hardback GBP 900.00 Starkmann Price GBP 765.00 Alain Badiou (b. 1937) is the most influential and controversial contemporary French philosopher. Since the publication of his magnum opus, ‘L’être et l’événement’ (Being and Event), in 1988, Badiou has emerged as a thinker whose scope and depth equal those of Derrida, Deleuze, and Foucault. The significance of Badiou’s thought, consists in breaking decisively with the legacies of post-Heideggerean phenomenology and French poststructuralism. Most controversially, they argue that Badiou renews the Platonic link between philosophy and mathematics, using mathematical ideas to revive the concept of the universal.

and Supplement for Previous Years / et complement des années précédentes

Edited by David G. Hunter, Paul J.J. van Geest and Bert Jan Lietaert Peerbolte

Fuat Sezgin, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt Translated by Joep Lameer

Edited by Anne Aarssen and Eline van der Veken

The Brill Encyclopedia of Early Christianity focuses on the history of early Christian texts, authors, and ideas. Its content is intended to bridge the gap between the fields of New Testament studies and patristics, covering the whole period of early Christianity up to 600 CE. The BEEC aims to provide a critical review of the methods used in Early Christian Studies and to update the history of scholarship.

Professor Dr Fuat Sezgin meticulously documented the scientific writings and advances achieved by Muslim scholars. His celebrated Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums (GAS), the largest bio-bibliography for the Arabic literary tradition in general, and the history of science and technology in the Islamic world in particular, is still importance for the field.

The Linguistic Bibliography / Bibliographie Linguistique is the annual bibliography of linguistics published by the Permanent International Committee of Linguists under the auspices of the International Council of Philosophy and Humanistic Studies of UNESCO.

Major Reference Works (MRW) & Contemporary Art The Starkmann ‘Major Reference Works’ bibliographies have been published continuously since the early 1990s. Their main purpose is to inform customers well in advance of new and forthcoming reference and series publications. The subject areas covered span the spectrum of all academic disciplines. Most of the titles listed are highly specialised, and appeal primarily to a select academic audience, but we also include reference works of more general interest.

Informing customers

As well as providing an important source of bibliographic information, we endeavour to make these bibliographies a source of inspiration and enjoyment. Our collaborations with artists aim to present the information in an interesting and aesthetically pleasing context. These projects have included a large variety of art works. Sometimes they are specially created for the bibliography, or they are drawn from the collection exhibited in our offices in London.

Artistic collaborations

A key aim of featuring contemporary art is to introduce the work of emerging artists early in their careers to a wider audience. When this project first began, contemporary art was certainly not as much in the wider public consciousness at it is today. Many of the artists have been featured, at what for them, was an important point in their careers. In presenting their work to a wider audience we wish to support and encourage them on their artistic journeys.

Raising awareness

The projects have featured artists from around the world, several of whom have gone on to become very well known.

It has been, and continues to be, a great pleasure to discover new talents and to collaborate with them to create a unique and visually engaging bibliography while presenting new book information to our customers.

Discovering talents

In addition to the printed bibliography, there are changing art images on our website. There you will also find the electronic version of ‘Major Reference Works’. We hope that you too enjoy our bibliographies. We appreciate your support and thank you for placing your orders for reference titles with Starkmann. Without your orders, comments, and feedback, none of this would be possible. Thank you!

Thanks for your support
