Gaia Ozwyn is a Caribbean-British artist, who completed an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art in 2024, supported by the Sir Frank Bowling Scholarship. Originally trained as a biomedical scientist and in Medicine, she spent several years working as a doctor in the NHS before committing to a full-time painting practice. Ozwyn’s work explores transitional spaces – borderlands and peripheries – as sites of tension, transformation, and truth. Rooted in the shared experience of inhabiting a corporeal and shifting world, the paintings reflect a dynamic interplay between material presence and transience. In 2025, Ozwyn was selected for the RCA BLK x Yinka Shonibare Foundation residency, held at the G.A.S. Foundation in Lagos, Nigeria.
