Gala Bell

Gala Bell is a London based multidisciplinary artist. The alchemy of matter is at the centre of her practice, motivated by the foundations of painting that remain sources of emotion.

Graduate of the Royal College of Art, she has been selected for exhibitions with The Design Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum, The London Design Festival, The Korean Cultural Institutes in Berlin and London, Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz Berlin and Galerie der HBKsaar in Saarsbrucken. Bell has had commissions by Tate and Lyle and Kellogg’s for her sugar sculptures, with a piece acquired by the Tate and Lyle archive in London. Her work has been featured in notable publications including Sotheby’s Made in Bed Magazine and on BBC One television, as well as participating in the live Talk at Ten panel discussion. She was shortlisted for the Ashurst Art Prize 2021, and was selected for Saatchi’s Rising Stars 2022, with an added special interview feature for Saatchi’s One to Watch. This year she was selected as an artist in residence at Buckinghamshire New University and the Villa Lena Art Foundation.
