Magic in the Everyday:Sue Blandford

February 7, 2010 by marniepitts

Dulwich OnView has an article by SLWA Artist Sue Blandford.

“I am interested in ordinary objects that appear somehow magical or different to normal either because they are in an unexpected context or with other things that together seem to tell a story, poetic juxtapositions. A glimpse of an everyday object that takes on another meaning.” More here

Ilinca Cantacuzino

February 6, 2010 by etpaint

Sinbad II, oil on paper 80×80cm 2007 (photo A Margulescu)

Genre: 2D painting

Statement:
Time is the substance I am made of. Time ….is fire which consumes me, but I am the fire. (J L Borges ‘A new refutation of Time’, Labyrinths)

Ilinca Cantacuzino’s work constantly explores the paradox of ‘time’: the co-existence of linear day-to-day time alongside the ever-constant present.
A tension arises between the orchestrated, and the unpredictable. She uses paint alongside the effects of fire. Continue Reading »

Primary categories: 3D

Artist statement:
Through my artistic practice I aim to engage with and explore places and the people who inhabit and interact with them.

Nicola Tremain

Untitled,oil,30×40cms,2002

Genre: 2d painting

Statement:
I paint mainly in oils, sometimes mixing in other media, such as lipstick, varnish and crayons. I used to be a scientist – looking down microscopes at cell structures is perhaps the origin of a lot of my work, which explores the regularities of patterns in organic subjects. Yet this figurative work tends to evolve in ways which are not planned. Continue Reading »

January 22, 2010 by catherinefraher

by Susan Wood
South London Women Artists is holding an exhibition at Bankside Gallery, 28 April to 3 May.

Is it near BANK tube station?
No. Bankside is on the south bank of the river, and BANK station is north of the river.

Is there a ‘Bankside’ on both sides of the Thames?
No. Just on the south. Continue Reading »

Featured Artist: Kim Thornton

Alchemy and the everyday world: Interview with Kim Thornton
By Susan Wood
Kim Thornton is one of the eighty or so SLWA artists exhibiting at Bankside in May this year. I met her in her Camberwell studio.

Kim, I know you’re very busy organising the publicity team for the show, but how are your own preparations going?
Well, I always have several pieces on the go at the same time, so am working hard to finish some in time for the show.

What is your modus operandi?
I take everyday useful things and they end up not being useful! Some of the objects include a dustpan, a washing powder scoop, a dishwasher tablet and a dosing ball for the washing machine. Or a wooden spoon – I covered it with gold leaf then made it into a photo.
These objects then become historical objects. My work was included in the London Group 2009 exhibition and the photo of the spoon was sold at the SLWA Dulwich Library exhibition in autumn 2009.

How did you end up knitting a miniature washing machine, complete with knitted plug cover????? Continue Reading »
