Based in Manchester - reading off paper - not much interaction? Hard to listen to - monotone - almost like she doesn't like her work
Can't really focus on her because she sounds disinterested - whether it's talking about her work or just her work in general - seems like she's just reading an essay rather than being passionate about her work like the other lecturers.
Kathy Prenderghast - city drawings
Julie Mehetru - city monuments
((She's showing other artists that have inspired her))
Used ink for simplicity of mark making
Represents capitalism in London
Making the rich, richer and the poor, poorer.
Yellow ink shows pollution - called Smog because London issued a warning a few weeks about smog.
She's all about shapes and mark makings, displaying good technical skills. I am more drawn to interaction and the emotions felt by artists, instead I listened to a monotone voice, which took away any interest I may have felt. It could have been improved by more interaction and eye contact, after all she is responsible for inspiring us, through her own art.
Sometimes lost - walking away and closer to the viewer at the same time???
Smell of human presence - urine?? Painting of an abandoned painting that says: ruined site
Watchers - big brother reference? Cameras everywhere, they're watching us. Reminds me of Nineteen Eighty-four by George Orwell
She make montage out of photographs and draws them - uses a lot of shapes like triangle and circles.
Urban forest: solo exhibition at the gallery at delta house studios in London
I thought her palette was very beautiful, as the contrast of colours stood out and caught my eye. Her mark making has a lot of depth, layers upon layers.
Honestly her work has interesting colours and there are some aesthetic visuals to it but how she speaks about them is just frustrating, it's like she isn't passionate about her work. It felt like she did not want to be there. She could improve by being more engaging and use interaction with the audience. It's not the usual aesthetic, but an old urban beauty . She speaks in a monotone voice and it makes it hard to listen and actually pay attention to what she is saying. Despite her delivery, I did observe her paint techniques and was inspired enough to consider trying ink mark making, perhaps on a canvas or M O I S T piece of paper. I was not sure about the process she used for her paint techniques but liked the brush strokes in the paintings. I wanted to try mark making techniques, which are now evidenced in my portrait painting.
I could not invest in an art presentation delivered in such a sterile way, without audience engagement, so early in the morning.
A lot of inspiration from a variety of artists
City environments and people's perspective of her work
Her envision of different urban environment - people from Liverpool can identify with the metropolitan cathedral
Made any drastic changes with your paintings?
Never works out how you think it's gonna work out
Doesn't think of corridors as spaces - she ignore spaces that she doesn't consider a 'space' for her work
Says it's good to take your work out of your studio so you can see what you've got up to
Unique colour pallet - not broad. How would you approach painting his (guy who owns the blackest colour?) buildings?
She paints them in bright colours?
Celebrating positive aspect of London with 2012 Olympics
Considers herself as an expressionist
She doesn’t consider the audience in her work? What could they add - to the perspective of the audience
Writes statements without being asked to write them?
