Avis Newman (born 1946, London) is an English painter and sculptor.

Newman's drawings and large un-stretched canvases document her contemplative and intuitive investigation of the subconscious. Since the early 1980s she has been primarily associated with large-scale, minimalist drawings on un-stretched canvas - usually pinned directly to the gallery walls for display.^[1] Avis had her first solo exhibition at Matt's Gallery, London, in 1982.^[2]

Her work has been the subject of numerous national and international exhibitions including The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago, 1988,^[3] Works, Casa Masaccio, Arezzo, Italy 1994; Saatchi Gallery, London 1994; Camden Arts Centre, London 1996; Lisson Gallery, London 1998; The National Gallery in Prague, 1999; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney 2003; National Museum of Art, Kaunas, Lithuania, 2004; IMMA Collection, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, Ireland Collage, London/New York’, Fred Gallery, London, UK, 2009; On Line: Drawing through the Twentieth Century at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA^[4] 2010; Drawing of the World, World of Drawing, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea 2010; The Moscow Biennale 5th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Moscow, Russia 2013; The Gallery at Norwich University of the Arts, Norwich, UK 2013; Mummery + Schnelle Gallery, London, UK 2014; Tate Modern, London, UK 2015; the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, UK 2017; A Very Special Place: Ikon in the 1990s, Birmingham, UK 2021; The Weight of Souls I, Maureen Paley: Studio M, London, UK; 2021
