Es Devlin

Es Devlin is a renowned stage designer and artist known for her innovative work in theater, opera, dance, and concerts. Since 1999, she has created groundbreaking designs for the National Theatre, Royal Opera House, World Expo, and the United Nations. Her work, at the intersection of art, music, and technology, often features large-scale kinetic sculptures integrated with light, film, and AI generated images.

A lifelong reader and drawer, Devlin began developing her practice as a child with sketches and small cardboard models.

She has created powerful touring sculptures in collaboration with artists such as Adele, Kanye West, Beyonce, and The Weeknd. Recognized for her unique vision, Devlin has been honored as a Royal Designer for Industry in 2018 and the recipient of a Tony Award in 2022 for Best Scenic Design of a Play. Amassing more than thirty years of archival work, her monographic book, An Atlas of Es Devlin, showcases her inspirational art over the course of her career.
