Kimbal Quist Bumstead (UK/NL b. 1986) is an interdisciplinary artist based in London whose work sits between painting, drawing, video and performance. He holds an MA in Performance and Theatre from Queen Mary University of London, and a BA in Fine Art from the University of Leeds and the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland.

Kimbal’s work explores the use of drawing as a performative tool to capture subjective experience. His work has dealt with issues surrounding migration, nomadism, home, landscape, memory, fantasy and intimacy, with an interest in documenting that which is embodied or felt within people and places. He has worked on various psycho-geographic projects in the form of collective map making, docu-narrative video and live performance, predominantly in the context of Artist in Residence projects in Sweden, Finland, Turkey, Tunisia and USA. 

His work has been published in various journals such as Arhitext Magazine and Emergency Index and in learning resources for the Courthauld Gallery and the Live Art Development Agency. 

Recent exhibitions include Crows Nest Gallery, London; Centre for Recent Drawing London; Turner Contemporary, Margate; Museum of Modern Art, Espoo, Finland; Espacio Gallery, London and Griffin Gallery, London. 

He is due to have his first solo exhibition at De Stoker Gallery, Amsterdam, later this year.

He is a member of the Magma Group of artists and a studio resident at Bow Arts London.
