Verity Coward is an artist based in London. She was born in Sharjah, UAE and raised between Queensland, Australia and the UK. Coward graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University London in 2017.
Coward works across sculpture, painting and moving-image to reflect on agency in the mechanisms of storying. Through a practice embedded in material and process, she samples and reconfigures themes from literature, cartoons and current affairs to play with shifting states, cyclical refrains and satirical possibilities.
Coward has exhibited nationally across the UK, and currently has a solo exhibition Faust Haus open at Guts Projects until 13th October 2024, and an upcoming, Arts Council funded solo exhibition at Flatland Projects, Bexhill in November, 2024.
