Olivia Müller (b. 2002) is a British-German multidisciplinary artist raised in Solihull, England. She is based between Birmingham and Edinburgh. She is a recent graduate from the University of Edinburgh with a BA in Intermedia Art. In 2023, she spent 6 months studying at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as part of an international study exchange. Müller has recently exhibited in the Edinburgh Printmakers Member’s Exhibition and the Edinburgh College of Art Degree Show 2024, as well as the exhibitions ‘Ain’t nobody got time for that’ and ‘The Fourth Wall’ at the University of Edinburgh (2023 and 2024) and The Gallery Societies’ Show ‘Insight’ (2024).

Müller’s work is an exploration of the interaction between the nature of communication and the rapidly evolving development of language and cultural identity in an increasingly culturally globalised world. As someone who grew up between two languages and cultures, she has always been interested in the experience of a cultural dual identity and the linguistic issues that can arise from this. In her work, she draws on these experiences to explore issues of belonging, translation and identity.

The nature of language as both a spoken and - in the modern world - a digitally written medium lends itself to her work, in which she combines analogue and digital processes. Her work evolves into conceptual installations that are often site-specific and often based on screen-printed graphics.
