Pam Glew, born 1978, is a contemporary artist who is best known for
her unique bleaching technique on national flags. She uses dye, stitch
and traditional skills to paint, embellish and distress vintage
materials in her own breed of painting.
Heavily
inspired by film, her strong cinematic paintings often use screen
stills of women in film as their starting point. She obsessively
watches contemporary and classic movies to capture a pivotal moment;
when a character is being chased, startled or discovered by the enemy.
The result is often compellingly beautiful and yet has some element of
vulnerability.
She is one of the few female
British artists to emerge in recent times and her large-scale work has
been showcased extensively in the UK and internationally in over 60
exhibitions. Her work is keenly collected and features in collections
in Europe, USA, Asia and Australia. |
