So yes this week has been quite eventful, however i have not had the chance to produce any work!
I plan to go to Finland for December in order to create some new work but also to pick up or perhaps sell work in friends houses. Otherwise i think the fresh air will do me some good and of course give me some inspiration.
My current focus is how to depict/comment on the objectification of the modern women, in relation to the issue of pornography and WHAT is the "modern" woman these days.
This project first came about when i was having a discussion with friends in Berlin, whilst on holiday and thinking about a strong subject to then somehow "react" to via painting.
Also by seeing an Emil Nolde show, which made me really think how a female artist could depict modern woman and what that would entail!
Anyways people, watch this space and i will post some photo ideas soon!

Sounds very cool :-) I look forward to learning how your project develops and the angles via painting you choose to explore - and also the medium and approach you take, whether it shall differ from your recent practice, for example.
ReplyDeleteMust look up Emil Nolde too!!

Yes I saw Emil Nolde in Berlin, was quite shocking and at the same time enlightening in terms of colour and technique. http://www.nolde-stiftung.de/index.php?LANG=EN&seid=221
