Typically Feminine, Rota Jovem

This week I have been working towards a solo show is Cascais, after living in Lisbon for a couple of months I was given the opportunity to host a small exhibition at Rota Jovem.

Missing my studio

When I am in my studio it is a hot crazy mess; with boob, latex and paper flying all over the place. After two months of not having a studio I miss it like mad, I have no space in which to be creative and messy - the dining room table just isn't the same, having to clear it away every evening to eat dinner.

It has made me realise that this time next year I will be completely without a studio once I graduate, need to start looking for options. At the minute I am thinking about having my own shed in my parents garden, a room that is all mine to hide away and be MESSY!

The human figure has long been the foremost subject in art; today the re-emergence of the nude body can be seen across a range of different mediums, from Lucian Freud’s lauded paintings to digitally rendered art. This exhibition showcases a selection of artists from the UK and abroad including France, Germany, Russia and Slovakia, exploring and examining the subject of the ‘Nude’ from varying perspectives in mixed media from paint to photography. Spanning from the soft and evocative painterly figures by D W Whitfield through to the colourful sketchy characters of Susan Harrison, in stark contrast to the realism of Konstantinos Vasileiou’s bare bodies and the colourfully comic yet socially aware portrayals of Tomas Picha, we are proud to exhibit works in a range of styles and textures truly encompassing the breadth of human experience and with both nostalgic and startlingly new interpretations expose on the everlasting subject of the human form.

Photographic references

My current body of work is focused around the female form, in particular my own body, although I am not using photographs as a resolve, I am using them as a reference to form in both drawing and sculpture. 

The images are intentionally crude, I was not trying to create images that flattered the body as are portrayed in the media and expected. I wanted to create more natural images, the kinds of images you see when you catch yourself in the mirror. The aim was to emphasise the forms and folds in the flesh, making for more interesting translations into two and three dimensional works.
