Artist search

Although I have often used paint, since moving to France in 2002 I have increasingly focused on making installation, site-specific installation, constructed art work, photography and printmaking. I am influenced by abstraction but like to collect objects I have found or been given, searching out simple everyday materials which I seek to transform...

Through an examination of mundane moments in time I investigate how meaning and significance are attached to banal elements of the everyday. This can include subjects as diverse as: shopping malls, peeling paint, drains, or sand scattered on a footpath. By incorporating varying amounts of participation I compress, or extend, the interaction a...

My work examines the expression of emotional and bodily states. I understand expression as something transient and being formed through experience. In this way expression in my work is not intentional or a gesture - it is the result of material transformations, the interplay between process and medium. The artistic process itself, its impetus...

Paper is a medium, a document a catalyst, a message, a creative act, it transforms for the better or worse, it travels, it is solid in a semi transparent world, it holds value, it proves, it also us to share information and ideas, it sorts us into groups of accepted and rejected, it covers up temporarily, it can be destroyed easily, it is...

Artist Statement As a painter, I am interested in urban spaces, the architecture and infrastructure that make the urban both generic and instantly familiar. I look for meaning and purpose in non-places, transient spaces and the everyday mundane places that have become the connecting blocks between the ‘real’ places we inhabit. The...

As bodies, we are always physically occupying space, and we are further extended (spatially and conceptually) through our use of objects. This increasingly complex engagement with our environments highlights the ambiguity of any boundaries a human body might have. The interaction between bodies, tools and technologies forms the focus of my work,...

Concepts As a Photographer/Installation Artist I am working with the notion of time. I question the existence of a place as the carrier of time. The human figure establishes a bridge between the street and a home, the inside and outside. InfluencesCultural, site specific, photography, installation, digital, sound, performance, documentary...

My photographic practice is primarily concerned with how images can mediate, rearrange and reconstruct our reality. I’m interested in using the syntax of the medium and its implicit connection with ‘reality’ and objectivity to interrogate aspects of our world. Sometimes what we see is not always as it seems, and I’m...

In response to our time of alarming climate change, the work presents a deliberate immersion of the objects that compose our daily surroundings. The certainty that in a near future, global issues will bring disastrous consequences on the environment creates a disturbing atmosphere. However the mass production rate of artificial materials seems...

My work explores the area between abstraction and figuration. I have searched for an expressive art which acknowledges the integrity of the picture as an object whilst harnessing the ability of the material to reference meaning beyond itself.The development of a fluid and intuitive process has been a major driver in my practice. My early work is...

Wary of the pervasive effects of a feminist dogmatism, I produce figurative works that directly addressed the problem of the gaze. For instance, the painting 'Woman Not Sure She Wants To Be Looked At Or Not' (exhibited at the Whitechapel Art Gallery), depicts a naked woman looking directly at the viewer whilst her hands seem to be covering...

Painted in black acrylic on white, the paintings are quickly rendered to give...

Everybody has their own jewellery, but not everyone realises that they have already worn it.My work pushes the boundaries of jewellery by re-thinking , re-defining and re-interpreting the definition of jewellery design. I started questioning myself what is the meaning of jewellery?I travelled around the world to open up my horizon. From place to...

For the past ten years my main area of interest has been the body and the issues that surround human and animal relationships. I use drawing, painting and photography when pursuing these themes. The disembodied is a major concern in my work and the meaning of animal versus the human body or the body inside outside versus the historical and aged...

Concepts My pre-occupation as an abstract painter for four decades has been with space - not the astronaut's space but the space of the mind, an intellectual infinity. Lacking nature's spatial indicators (sky, perspective, horizon) idiomatic alternatives were needed. Thus my extensive earlier 'Bridge Series', oils and drawings - the metaphorical...

Artist statement Following a career in commercial illustration (mainly children's picture books and educational work) and a move to southern France, I decided to realise an earlier intention of mine to pursue an interest in fine art by studying for an MA at UWIC in Cardiff. In the course of a year's full-time study, I became interested in...

The artistic goal of my practice is to add to the debate on the photography’s placement in the art world both by trying to position it more in the scope of literature, especially poetry, and also by questions the nature of photographic seeing. Are photographers, as Badger says standing back and taking the wider view which separates them both...

My work is about journeys. These journeys range from the physical movement of the body to the journey the mind has to make in order to retrieve a particular memory. Each item selected within the installations has a specific personal reference to either a place I have travelled to or a particular memory of a time and place. Although my work is very...

Your truth is my lie Clare Kenny works with a variety of materials such as found objects and building materials yet her work almost always originates in photography, or simply just the idea of the photograph. Manipulation of materials including that of the photograph play a central role in her work and the questioning of their given roles...

I work primarily with performance and mixed media. Through my performances I strive to break down the boundary between the performer and the audience while revealing the dynamics of relationships. In many works I express my ingratitude, worries, or resentment towards technology that I use in everyday life. In other works I express my gratefulness,...

I think the most important topics of my work are identity and space. At this moment, I’m focused on drawing and photography, but in a way that doesn’t speak about the mediation, a visual approach that is the illustration of an ongoing process, a thinking process. Drawing and photography don’t include almost any kind of...

I am a visual artist whose practice is primarily photographic. I engage with spaces in transition. My interest lies primarily in the notion of place, the relationship humans have to space, and the methods employed for changing (in)habitable places. My photographic work is influenced by my experience as an urban planner, and by having lived in...
