Oriele Steiner

b. 1993, UK

Oriele Steiner (b. 1993) is a British painter, born and raised in North London. Her parents were deaf, so her first language was visual. After a foundation course at Central Saint Martins, she received her bachelor's degree from the University of Brighton in 2015 and took the Turps Banana Correspondence Course in 2021–2022. In 2016 she was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries, later receiving a residency at The Royal Standard in Liverpool. Her painting plays with colour and light, creating fantastical, semi-narrative scenes that combine comedy and darkness. Seizures diagnosed at the age of sixteen led her to explore how to convey the sensations of those moments, especially the phenomenon of 'jamais vu'.
