Sofie Birkin
Muriel’s Wedding Dress
Sofie Birkin (she/her) is a Brooklyn based queer British artist with a big dog. She creates powerful vignettes of queer bodies in space which push back against historical conventions of femininity. Working as a professional illustrator and muralist since 2016, her developed style of vibrant, dynamic compositions mesh the figure form with anachronistic accessories, creating complex cultural narratives that allow the viewer to imagine the characters’ expansive lives. She likes estate sales, ambient lighting and ghost stories, and dislikes rain, routine, and writing about herself in the third person.
