Fine Artists Artist Statement Abstract expression has always been something that I found myself being a part of, it has a huge inspiration to my work and my practice. I choose to express my emotions and feelings through paint and its application.

Whether it be how I apply it, the number of layers, or the type of materials I can place onto the canvas. Something about the process of adding each layer and going crazy with the thickness of the paint is very satisfying. I am expressing my feelings and lifting a weight off my shoulders.

I mainly create my work using Palette knives, Oils, Acrylic and Gesso. I have recently started to work on MDF board instead of canvas, as I felt I needed to change things up and get back to a rawer and flatter surface.

The structure of the body is something, which fascinates me: how flesh, bone, and muscle combine to create an individual. Another interest is the aesthetic experience of an exhibition.

My paintings are taken from life drawings. These drawings are often fragmented; without heads or faces simply because I am not interested in creating facial portraits.

I am also experimenting with technique and colour to create a semiabstract quality; by building up thin layers of paint and allow drips and splashes to obscure the figure. My intention is for the viewer to create their own meaning and emotional response to the work.

My body of work explores the relationship between fine art traditions; the nude, the landscape, sculpture and the history of painting itself, and reconsiders each in the context of the new digital image that dominates visual culture. Through video, drawing installation and painting I make an enquiry into the possibilities of a narrative in such a culture, through the relocation of digital images in a fine art content. I aim to create images that disorientate the viewer and plunge them into the unreliable narrative and self-reflection that I believe comes from consuming images in the way we do.

(biggest to smallest)

I invite the viewer to consider the status of the people, places and events that populate these images and negotiate the gaps between thoughts, desires and language. In doing so I ask a series of questions about contemporary visual culture – what happens when images are taken out of their contexts and sit alongside others? What happens when images find themselves in a new cultural and political space? How does fine art relate to other image forms? What does it mean to live in a culture in which multiple images are disseminated? Ultimately for me, painting is an individual pursuit and a shared experience and through it I ask the viewer to consider how painting changes how we consider these images, once we see them made material.

My practice is about personal loss and memory, based on the loss of my son, and is in part, a process of catharsis. However death and grief are universal experiences and through painting I am exploring how people are changed by and try to come to terms with grief.

(biggest to smallest)

Life experiences and therefore memories are layered over time, some being hidden, some lost and some coming to the surface unexpectedly.

These can be ephemeral, fleeting and difficult to grasp. I use the physical materiality of oil paint to try and give some presence to these ephemeral ideas, building up the paint in layers and rubbing away to try and reveal the image, the memory.

The paper or canvas itself becomes a palimpsest; holding a memory of previous brushwork as layers are added, then scraped back and revealed.

Some areas are worked up in more detail, as a more sharply remembered part of the memory, some fade into the background, some are lost forever; as in art, so in life.

The Loss of Innocence symbolises that feeling when an experience or a period in a person’s life leads to a greater awareness of evil, pain, or suffering in the world around us. Using alcohol ink on various surfaces such as Perspex to yupo, I wanted to capture the energy source/aura that surrounds our spiritual body.

(biggest to smallest)

To symbolise the transition of our minds developing from a child’s to an adult perspective, I am using white to represent the child and black, the adult.

White is often seen as a symbol of innocence light and purity; whereas black is associated with fear, death, evil. Black is also seen as the authority colour, which absorbs all the lights in the colour spectrum, meaning all the other colours need to have depth and variation of hue to be seen. I have begun to experiment with colour to capture other energy sources to develop my creativity further.

My work aims to tackle issues surrounding body image and reference concepts such as the ‘abject’ with the creation of abstract sculptures, using primarily plaster. I often explore aspects of the body, particularly my own, which could typically be viewed as imperfect. I want to address the issues we often face with the relationship with our own bodies due to social influence and society’s expectations. The ‘abject’ is also a key reference within my work. I often use hair and other features of the body that could be seen as ‘disgusting’, or could repulse the viewer, due to the connotations surrounding these particular aspects. Therefore often forcing the viewer to react to the works in a certain way. These ideas aim to challenge the way we view ourselves, and our own bodies, particularly the parts we may in fact be repulsed by.

I’m interested in minimalist and abstractive photography, it is a daily part of my studies where I can express myself. I’m interested in discovering signs in nature, exploring their meaning; and in studying characters and their meanings. Earth Art also aims to promote ecology by using unique techniques and materials for the installations which is often documented using photography.

(biggest to smallest)

I use text on objects, the facture of textile, improvise with font characters and line structures in textural rendering. Textile with textures create a language of expression by lines and signs of the structures. I use materials and elements from the nature to create conception of composition. Natural flax textile and clay, two vivacious materials given to us from nature. The nature itself are alive and creative; every spring again starts with renewal and new inspiration.

Every art work for me has to be unique, like the sound of harmoniously structured formed octave the music.

My work revolves around an intense interest in the human body combined with a fascination of soft materials. Taking an in depth look at distortion in the body and the uncanny, my practice has evolved into an exploration and manipulation of materials usually through soft sculpture or installation.

(biggest to smallest)

Within my work I aim to challenge the viewer to experience a sense of unease and confusion. I aim to evoke reactions of revulsion with a sense of curiosity and an eagerness to interact with my work. When experimenting with these themes I have begun looking into performance art and making wearable sculptures, however I am still primarily a sculptor and installation artist.

I am very interested in working with neutral tones and colours that can be associated with the human body. In this way I feel as though I am bringing the sculpture closer to the human form. I feel that this is also enhanced by the materials I use which primarily consist of nylon tights and polyester stuffing often sewn together or manipulated into humanlike forms.

Artist Statement As tranquillity and chaos coexist, awareness of the need for contrast in order to feel anything, is an integral factor of coping with what life throws at us. My work highlights how life can change at any moment and asks the audience to feel empathy and be mindful that without destruction, we would not feel the relief in the calm. To be conscious that life is so fragile and can take any turn, no matter who you are and what background you come from, can play an important role in being grateful for life and allowing you to hold judgement of others.

The dramatic change of serene scenery to harsh and startling imagery mimics the shock that can be experienced when a life changing moment occurs. Sublime, abstract imagery, contrasts the beautiful and the terrifying, creating an experience that can take over the senses and leave the viewer feeling calm and reflective.

Social media and the digital landscape can trap individuals in an echo chamber. Creating an environment of confirmation bias that reinforces what individuals are presenting as self, in the context of community, gender and society.

(biggest to smallest)

My work explores identity and the way individuals represent themselves in virtual and physical space using sculpture, virtual reality and video. My work has become an amalgamation of the body and soft materials resulting in strange, sometimes thought-provoking sculptures and installations.

My work consists of visual emotions through movement and lines, using sculpture and drawing. The techniques I use show action and a wave like quality. If you look closely, you can see where two sadness’ meet. My work is a place where I let my emotions out. I am interested in expressing big emotions - gloom, doom heartbreak, and tragedy. I want my drawings not to be drawings, but an experience. If you are only changed by relationships through colour, you’re almost missing the point, as not all relationships have to be colourful to be meaningful.
