Puy Soden

Puy is an artist-educator with a studio in Huddersfield, focusing on the processes of painting by experimenting with materials and methods.

Puy graduated with a 1st class BA in Contemporary Art (with the 2011 Chancellor’s Prize for outstanding achievement) and completed a Masters by Research in Fine Art in 2014. Puy gained a PhD in 2019 for a programme of work entitled: 'An investigation into a concept of painting via an experimental process of practice-led methods, including an artistic trial of Grounded Theory Method coding, led by a series of painting experiments that focus on the significance of ground'.
