Dasha Loyko Greer

Dasha Loyko-Greer (b.1995 Minsk, Belarus) is an interdisciplinary artist based in London. She works predominantly across written and performed language, gestural painting, and multisensory installation.

Grounded in her early training in philosophy and her interest in expanded states of consciousness, Loyko-Greer considers self-exploration as a tool for understanding the nature of reality. She questions the subconscious narratives we use to frame our experience, seeking to make them visible, malleable, and unfixed. In particular, she is interested in the self- and reality-defining scripts we internalise in response to fear, guilt, shame, and trust in authority.

Her work is playful and irreverent. Frequently employing her voice and somatic practices as well as intuitive mark-making, free association, and wordplay in order to break out of her own habits of perception, Loyko-Greer describes her work as a celebration of consciousness.

Dasha Loyko-Greer holds an MA from the Royal College of Art in Contemporary Art Practice (2019) and a BSc from the London School of Economics in Philosophy, Logic & Scientific Method (2017). She has had two solo exhibitions in London, at lake (2023) and Harlesden High Street (2019). Her work has been shown at Liverpool Independents Biennial, MK Gallery, Gossamer Fog, Science Museum, Horse Hospital, among others. Her writing has been published in two collections by Prototype (2021, 2023) and as a solo publication by If a Leaf Falls Press (2023). She holds an Exceptional Talent endorsement from the Arts Council England (2020).
