NUA MA Degree show 2015

NUA MA show, opening 4th September 2015

I am very pleased to announce my participation in this year's Norwich University of the Arts' MA Degree show. I will be exhibiting my postgraduate course's project among many other talented artists and designers.

 My work focuses on life in the urban environment and the way people interact with their surroundings. I am interested in the juxtaposition between the manmade and the natural, the various forms of information displayed in the streets and the visual repetition as a link between time, place and memory. 
Urban traces and evidence of existence are documented, analysed and re-composed to form a new narrative that praises the ordinary.Influenced by my background in graffiti and its aesthetics, I reproduce the collected evidence by using permanent markers – similar to the act of capturing a moment by taking a photograph. Impressions of actions, memories and thoughts are also filtered through my eyes and expressed with outlines, patterns and textures that compose a surreal and naïve visual language. 





Theoretical contexts for my research include studies by Gehl, Sennett and Crosby on urban planning, architecture and environmental psychology. Other influences are photographers Martin Parr, Zoe Leonard and Jeff Mermelstein who focus on the everyday scenes of the city, and illustrators Quino, Mattias Adolfsson and Finsta for their clean outlines, rich messages and attention to detail.

The private view will be on the 3rd of September 2015 and the show will be open to the public from the 4th to the 9th of September.

Ana Maria Pacheco exhibition at the Gallery @ NUA

Four separate but simultaneous exhibitions, in four different Norwich locations, bring major sculptural work from Brazilian-born artist, Ana Maria Pacheco, to Norwich for the first time. 

Curated for Norfolk Contemporary Art Society, in association with Pratt Contemporary and in partnership with Norwich University of the Arts, Norwich Cathedral, Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery and The Cathedral of St John the Baptist, Norwich, these four major exhibitions will explore the sculpture of Ana Maria Pacheco produced over the last four decades.

The Gallery at NUA will show an early work, The Banquet, made in 1985 and completed in Norwich, along with a related contextual work and large scale prints. 

17 March – 25 April 2015

The "Tort" Exchange

                                   

  

 This piece is a result of another exchange. This time @tort735 had the idea. 

 I like to experiment with various materials and found objects lately. For this piece I used cardboard  to form the letters which I then wrapped with plastic garbage bags so that I add texture as well as        dimension.
