1030 portraits for Emporio Armani

Exciting and quite unexpected news....... I'm currently collaborating with Emporio Armani for their 30th anniversary!

To celebrate their milestone anniversary, the first 1030 online customers can create their own eyewear on the Emporio Armani website for her or for him.

Using the interactive 'sunglasses creator', you can customise your colours of lens, arms & logo.

Once you have received them, you have the option of taking a photo of yourself wearing your customised sunnies & sending it into Armani with a Special Code. Then yours truly will create a digital artwork portrait for you.

So if you have ever wanted to have a portrait of yourself, by me, now may well be the time!
The online edition is only available until 31 December & is only available in Europe.

Here's the interview

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Beautiful and Damned

2011-04-04T13:19:00.000-07:00

Cool, so the dates & venue has been announced, here's the full lowdown:

Mauger Modern Art proudly presents........... Pam Glew – ‘Beautiful and Damned’

Date: Wednesday 25th May – Sunday 29th May
Gallery Hours: 10:00am – 18:00pm (late night opening Thursday 26th May)

Blackall Studios • 73 Leonard Street • Shoreditch • London • EC2A 4QS

(Black Rose. 2011, Ink, dye & bleaching technique on heavy-weight vintage woven botanical fabric, u/f 123 x 93 cm)

Pam Glew’s forthcoming show features icons from the Roaring 20s, from silent movies to the golden age of cinema. The next generation post-urban pop artist uses her signature style of dyeing and bleaching vintage materials to create poignant portraits of the beautiful and the damned.

'Beautiful and Damned', the shows title, is of course taken from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1922 novel, which explores the listless lives of moneyed society during the Jazz Age. This captivating era, drenched in glamour yet tinged with tragedy is the decadent setting for this extraordinary series of work. The exquisitely beautiful movie starlets, society icons and characters on display capture the spirit of the age all who are caught in the unforgiving glare of the limelight and some sadly burn out before their time. As Pam states, “the tragedy amongst the beauty is what has inspired this show, the sharp contrast between a blessed life and one that ends in scandal, hedonism or destitution”.
(Josephine, 2011, Ink, dye & bleaching technique on heavy-weight vintage botanical fabric , u/f 87 x 58 cm)

For this latest series, the artist uses found materials from the same period. This is the first time she has incorporated antiques into her work. Each piece is deconstructed, dyed, and repeatedly bleached until a portrait emerges from the cloth. Rather than add pigment, Glew takes away the pigments in layers, creating ghostly figures, which appear almost woven into the cloth. This technique, mastered by the artist, can also be seen in the ‘Flag’ series and ‘Circus’ series, these prolific luminaries’ faded portraits are not only responsive to the vulnerability of the characters but are also loaded with connotations of the fragility of all human life and the transcendent nature of all our lives. However, in this new body of work Glew explores colour and pattern as a contemporary re-invention of found materials. The vintage materials and antique techniques used, such as crewelwork, further highlight and bring to the surface the precious and tenuous lives of the characters featured.

(Swan. 2011, Dye & bleaching technique on vintage woven brocade fabric. u/f 122 x 90 cm)

Household names of the time feature in this ever so evocative exhibition, such as world famous vaudeville performer Josephine Baker, sultry screen goddess Marlene Dietrich and the pioneering aviators of the time Amelia Earhart the first female pilot to fly solo over the Atlantic, who went missing attempting to fly around the world and Charles ’Lucky Lindy’ Lindberg, whose child was notoriously kidnapped and murdered in the ‘Crime of the century’. These highly iconic figures, each with their own personal distressing life stories, represent the true spirit of the age.

Doing something Funny

2011-03-12T04:06:00.000-08:00

50% of all sales in the shop goes to Red Nose Day up til end of day on 18 March. Not that hilarious but telling jokes isn't really my forte, i can do a sketch though.

So get your fix of the Illustrated Dictionary Project here.

The last Shock Awakening Screen print is in the shop (60 cm x 80 cm, Number 6 of an edition of 40, £165), And also the very last couple of Crime Scene Screen prints (100.5 cm x 70.5 cm, edition of 45, £245) Buy anything in the shop before 18 March and 50% will go to Red Nose Day so you can feel all warm and glowy from having supported the brilliant Comic Relief, jolly nice.

Have a funny weekend y'all

The illustrated dictionary project is back on

2011-03-03T13:48:00.000-08:00

After a mega long gap while I was working on the Circus series, I'm happily back to the drawing board. Nothing like quiet time with just a pencil and a bit of chalk to entertain. I'm loving my new 'inktense' pencils, they are like compressed charcoal but in a pencil, and it becomes like indian ink when abit of water is added. Pretty lovely. The thing i disliked about normal pencils is the shiny colour of lead, it was a real battle with this drawing project, as that sheen was bit distracting, so now armed with my 'inktense' doddlers I have the tools to carry on........

Below is a sketch of Marion Davies using these lushly dark pencils in Bark and Ink Black.

This is a sketch of Clara Bow, with 'Boheme' on the Dictionary page, so I called this one La Boheme, one of my favourite operas. I guess Clara was a kind of bohemian, all that lolling about in velvet and reclining on chaise longues, makes me want to wear satin house robes and drink nothing but gin fizz.

And a portrait of Polish actress Pola Negri. While drawing this one I obsessed over the camel and camel keeper behind the left eye, so I called her 'East'.

I'm trying to add new drawings weekly, as each sketch is really useful prep for the next solo show in London (in Mauger Modern, May), So check back to keep tabs on my progress, hopefully I'll start on the rest of the Es soon, ah that'll be nice, 5 letters down

Taxidermy, skin and domes

2011-01-23T04:44:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was London Art Fair day for me, had a thorough mooch on all the 3 floors with my good old mate from college Nina. Took a whole 5 hours to see all the Fair, 2 coffee breaks and necessitated a stiff drink afterwards.
above • Geza Szollosi • Fox • Taxidermy • Mauger Modern
in background • Pam Glew • Eden • Bleaching on fabric • Mauger Modern

I noted a leaning towards a more subtle pallet in the work on show. Much less shock & awe, more pastel and skin. London art Fair is on 19-23 January

Heres my highlights:

above • Martin C Herbst • Oil and Lacquer on steel ball • Mauger Modern

above • Tessa Farmer • Insects • Vitrines

above • Ione Rucquoi • Second Skin • Ultrachrone on alu-dibond • Bo-lee Gallery, Bath

above • Kelly Ratchford • Vanilla • Jill George Gallery

above • Valeria Nascimento • Pods • Porcelein • Woolf Gallery

Very nice day, although I nearly got into a shouting match with the mini-Hitler-jobsworth-security-nincompoop on the door as i didn't present him with a 'docket' for my purchase. I have a receipt, is that ok? No i am not going back up to the third floor for an f-ing docket. Can I now leave the building please? A strong drink was needed afterwards. You just cant get the staff these days. I recommend that the security men should watch an few episodes of Mary Queen of Shops.

Opening night at Moniker

2010-10-14T16:48:00.000-07:00

So, we dropped in on Moniker Art Fair tonight, and I have to say thats the nicest and coolest Art Fair experience going, great vibe, the best urban art I've seen for a long time, friendly face... great to finally meet the Carmichaels & to chat with the lovely Jasmine & Falk of Herakut.

Big props to Frankie Shea for co-organising and ta for putting up 'Haunt' my flag on the Campbarbossa stand! Haunt has a new framing stylee- white background instead of the usual black. I took abit of convincing but it does looks pretty nice, so maybe I'll get afew more framed in white in the future.

The opening night was busy, heaving with the London Shoreditch cool sipping on the sparkling pink vino and having very engaging chats. With stunning art throughout, the Project spaces by Herakut and Polly Morgan were a particular highlight for me. Good to see some of the Art Star artists around too; the brilliant Matt Small had a wicked piece in Black Rat & Stefan Strumbel's clock was a nice treat.
Moniker is a perfect start to Art Fair season, check out the programme over the weekend...

hello chaps,

Its Friday and I've been feeling the 1960s vibe, so the studio walls are covered in dolly girls, factory girls, cult legends & red and white twisted psychedelic patterns. I'm collecting some pretty awesome cola signs, this 'Nichol Kola' sign is my first and certainly the start of something of a collection..... I dont drink cola, make my mouth feel abit to sugary, but I love the slick typography. Apparenly its got vitamin B1 added, which has got to be good for you, right?

I watched the fab Julie Christie in 'Darling' the other night, awesome for sixties inspiration, pattern, infidelity, swinging, black eye-liner and a hauntingly good performance by the actress. Theres something lovely and nostalgic about phone boxes, they don't seem to be needed anymore, with everyone shouting on their iphones, but what a beautiful image, so secretive and conspiratorial to be in a phone box calling a lover.

New interview on I the God

2010-08-09T09:54:00.001-07:00

I the God is a good read, lots of interviews with artists from all over. Hayden Kays asked me some pretty interesting questions (not the usual stuff about who what why and when) take a look here

Sketching cult legends - guys

2010-08-03T15:04:00.000-07:00

I'm prepping for the London show at the end of the year. (its going to be a very cool show in Winter- all based on cult legends, with a strong retro vibe). So I'm debating between which cult figures to depict. You will all have your favourites, I have mine...... Whats so interesting though is that someones cult idol is anothers hideous hate figure! I like Dennis Hopper, and am pretty keen on Warhol too, but theres such a fine line between cult figure and 'over-exposed-legend-thats-done-to-death'.

Personally I like writers, dark rugged ones that look like they dont get enough day light. But also beautifully hip kids. Its hard to decide, so far I've been given a massive long list through facebook (thanks friends!) So in order to narrow it down abit I'm doing some sketches to decide whose faces are worth making a flag for.

Some of the latest drawings as part of my self-inflicted drawing project called The Illustrated Dictionary include a young Dennis Hopper (top), with a rugged vibe, and Jack Kerouac (below), writer of On the Road. The beats is an era I'm playing with at the moment, but am also massively drawn to the early 1960s girls. I'll pop back with a progress report soon!

Korea International Art Fair

2010-07-22T05:01:00.001-07:00

I have cool news of more far flung cities.

Seoul is hosting the Korea International Art fair, and some of my new work is heading there.
Mauger Modern will be taking part in KIAF and will be showing new work by their artists from 9-13 September.

This will be my first show in Asia, so quite a nice thing for me. Europe -tick, USA - tick, Australia- tick, just need a show in Africa now and I'll have covered all bases!

If you happen to be in Korea and want to see it, more info is here

Oh, and Mauger Modern can be found at www.maugermodern.com

***************************************************************************

I've been drawing

2010-06-21T03:09:00.001-07:00

So after a bit of a break from the drawing project, I'm now back from Sydney and fully emersed into UK time zone and loving getting back into drawing.

The idea is to fill every page of an antique French dictionary with a drawing, I'm somewhere around the D's now, and think at this rate it will probably take another 2 years, so stay posted!

I'm into inks at the mo', so the next batch is in brown ink, white ink which is pretty lovely to use and indian inks... the first few drawings were pencil and charcoal, so I'm slowly evolving....

New ones are now online here in the shop

Art Star in Progress

2010-06-07T15:55:00.001-07:00

Here's some pics of my Art Star in Progress, I made back in January when it was snowing and oh so icy cold. The actual wooden star was made in Munich and a guy drove it all the way from Munich to my studio in the snow! Poor guy, he was knackered when he delivered it. We had to get it in the studio via an ice covered fire exit in the dark. Tricky and more than abit dangerous.

Anyway, so me & Victoria got to work making a denim patchwork for it (kinda like making a poncho for a star), which was appliqued, dyed and bleached, washed and bleached some more, and washed again, all stitched up. The front is based on a carousel, wheel of death/ knife throwers star, in the circus kinda vibe, with a portrait in bleach of an all American girl. The whole star is hand sewn and upholstered, so it looks kinda neat.

'Kylie' New Flag for Luminaries show in Sydney

Luminaries

2010-03-07T10:38:00.000-08:00

My new show opens in Sydney, Australia, from 6th May until 22 May 2010.

With a new collection of work based on the Australian flag & Australian luminaries, the paintings are all intricately made from vintage denim, linen and cotton, with integrated portraits made using my bleaching technique. This show houses my most manipulated and detailed flag series, each flag is handmade and individual.

For my first show in the Southern hemisphere, the work will feature the UK’s favorite Australian sisters – Danni and Kylie Minogue. I also took inspiration from the Australian flag itself, with hints of astronomy and a star lit night sky. Each portrait could almost be a film still with an extraordinary luminance which seems to radiate or reflect light.

For more info on the opening night & the address which will be released nearer the opening date, please join mailing list at www.pamglew.co.uk or visit www.bickergallery.com

Back on the Drawing Project

2010-01-27T14:03:00.000-08:00

... been a while since last blog, silly busy,

Been making large things in the studio, and have recently discovered the joys of having an assistant, marvellous times and much more productive at making flags now. So onwards and upwards, been sewing like demons in the studio making some beautiful things for the Sydney Show..... more complex and intricate flag-making. And a recent trip to Berwick Street was very fruitful, linens, denims and ticking, very authentic utility fabrics, for making new/ old flags. Delicious.

On a different tack, I'm getting back into the Drawing Project, I have set myself a mission to draw on every page of a french dictionary, more drawings added to new shop http://pamglew.bigcartel.com

Hope to get a chance to keep drawing most days, will keep u posted for progress reports!

Get Dring Mobile charity auction on 14th and 15th October

2009-10-12T17:34:00.000-07:00

THE HUNTED is in the GETDRINGMOBILE charity auction this Wed & Thursday. If you have not heard about Mike Dring, trust me, he is a legend.

Mike was 23 when he broke his neck in a road traffic accident, resulting in paralysis from the upper chest down – medically he is classified as having a complete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) resulting in Tetraplegia (level C6). Between April 09 and April 2010, friends and family of Mike are attempting to raise money to put towards the purchase of an adapted car which will enable him to drive independently. Mikes needs are such that such a vehicle is highly specialised and comes at a very high price. As part of this fundraising we have organised the GDM Art event and auction which will be held at the Paintworks, Bath Road, Bristol on the 14th and 15th of October.

The doors will be open from 11am to 9pm on Wednesday for a full days viewing of the works going under the hammer. Thursday will be a busy day with the opportunity for further viewing from 12pm.

There will be live painting by Mr Jago, Inkie, Lokey, Felix, Eelus, Xenz, Paris, Boswell, Vermin, Milk and Dora starting at 4pm and the auction including lots by Guy Denning, Pam Glew, Rowdy, Ian Francis and Nick Walker to name but a few, will commence at 7pm. The work can be viewed on line at Dreweatts, www.dnfa.com and at www.art-el.co.uk. Bidding can be made in person or live online at www.the-saleroom.com on the evening, commission bids will be taken with valid credit/debit card details prior to the event. If you wish to make a commission bid and to register for bidding please contact The GDM team on 07789 971273 or e-mail getdringmobile@live.co.uk.
The event will also include a fine art ‘mystery’ postcard sale featuring work from award winning artists from all over the world, many of which have shown in the BP portrait awards and with some having work in the National Portrait Gallery their work usually thousands. This sale therefore gives people the opportunity to purchase a piece of art that would usually cost a small fortune, for just £50.
We are also running a raffle to win a portrait painted by Vincent Brown, a multi award winning portrait and figurative artist from Bristol. Tickets will be available at the event and are also available now via the GDM blog at http://getdringmobile.wordpress.com. For more information about Vincent Brown and to see examples of his amazing work please visit his web-site at www.vincentbrown.co.uk. Vince himself will be attending the event and will determine the winner of our very own portrait competition. We hope to see lots of you there, with live painting, music, beer and curry this promises to be a great night.

Shafted and annoyed

2009-09-28T11:50:00.000-07:00

Here’s something I’m trying to spread around, so that no one else gets shafted!...... (please show to all artists.)

I recently gave some work on paper to a chap who i will call 'DODGY' He has pics of this wall on flickr and it has all kinds of street/ urban paste-ups that he has presumably got donated by the artists!

And lo and behold, yesterday I noticed that all the work I gave him.......... was sold on ebay!

And he has other paste-ups for sale which looks suspiciously like donated works

The only thing I can do is warn all artists to not do the same, Don’t send him your tests, prints, paste-ups or any free stuff! He has so far sold 121 things in his god-forsaken ebay shop, its amazing the audacity of it!

Please forward to all artist mates, the guy needs blacklisting (and duffing up a bit)

Best wishes and here’s to not getting shafted!

New Batch of Drawings

2009-09-27T04:33:00.000-07:00

Ever the fan of vintage, antique and old materials, I recently found an old illustrated French Dictionary from 1919. Each of its 791 pages are full of illustrations, maps and little surprises and are the perfect material to embark on a project.

The drawing project is essentially an idea to fill every page of the dictionary with a drawing. Right now I am compelled to sketch characters that are visually striking and have a inner narrative.

Some of these drawings will become large flags in the future, some will remain a one off drawing. I'm currently drawing on the C's, so this is going to be a long project that will morph and change direction as my work develops over the coming months, or maybe years!

Currently these drawings are only availble from Etsy, my online shop, http://www.pamglew.etsy.com

You can join the RSS feed from the shop to see new drawings listed daily.

New Roses at ART LONDON preview

2009-09-16T10:51:00.000-07:00

There's Still Life is an International exhibition taking place at Art London in October and Scope Miami in December. A select group of contemporary artists from the US and Europe have been given a simple brief - to take the traditional discipline of Still Life and produce contemporary paintings, drawings and sculpture.

For the show used the 'hybrid tea rose' flower as a starting point. I created 2 handmade 'hybrid' flags, part american flag, part Union Jack. The cross -fertilisation of the flags echo this idea of a flower being a hybrid.

British Rose (above) is a handmade Union Jack, made from a vintage American flag and vintage denim with a blooming rose, Hybrid Rose is part British Ensign, part American flag, made from a very old Ensign Flag, denim, red stripes from a vintage American flag and embroidered linens for a nod to English Tea. Using my dyeing and bleaching technique, the Hybrid Rose is particularly distressed with drips of bleach giving off a naughty decadence.

Preview the works in show on Saturday 19th September in the Bath gallery
Theres a pre-fair preview day at the gallery where a selection of sculpture and paintings especially made for the Still Life show will be available for their first public viewing before they move onto London (my 2 roses will be there).
Come from 11.00am to 7.00pm, have a glass of wine and see for yourself how all the artists have bent, twisted and interpreted the TSL brief.

Winner!

2009-09-11T14:55:00.000-07:00

Today I met up with Alison & Torben from Brighton's Arty Magazin e & had a nice chat about what it is to be an artist in the city, the uphill struggle to making a living as a creative and to now find myself as a full-time artist....... that phrase 'full-time artist' was the pinnacle of what aimed for for about 8 years, and finally last year found myself in a place to give up lecturing and concentrate all my attentions to being an artist... finally!
It really was a decision to do one thing well, when I was a part-time lecturer/ part-time artist I felt like I was always letting people down, whether it was galleries, people wanting a commission, or students, there really was not enough hours in the week to do it all... that phrase too 'do it all'... well I made the leap of faith and am rather please that I did...

This time of year always feels strange though, as for a while I would have spent September planning lectures, now I spend September making work for upcoming shows (like 'English Rose' above & 'Hybrid Rose' top which will be at Theres Still Life with Mauger Art for ARTLONDON Fair), having interviews in mags, visiting my framer in Kemptown and frantically making lists..... Its still a busy life, and isn't without stress, theres still late nights, and I'll still be in the studio at least a bit on Saturday and Sunday, but its worth it because its something I love doing, its addictive.

So in a bid to make my work even more a serious thing this week I opened up a business bank account! Blimey, now that is scary

** PS- Congrats to Carl Hardie who won the 300th customer prize! Some collectible booty has now been sent to Carl, including a ltd edition bag and a postcard pack. **

September totes for all

2009-09-08T05:50:00.001-07:00

As im gearing up for more shows in October than I've ever done before...... I will be drawing like theres no tomorrow, some will be prep drawings for the work going to Artlondon, AAF London, Edinburgh Art & AAF Amsterdam, so keep tabs on the shop

And as Ive gone passed my 300th mile stone (congrats carl for being number 300!), I am giving away a tote bag for all orders in September

This week I've repainted my studio dazzling white and have been re-sorting and having a mass chuck out of wood, fabric, metal and anything not nailed down! So, Time for an Autumn clean up.

I'll be posting pics of the new space soon and Arty mag are coming to interview me at the end of the week, so I'm looking forward to a chin wag in my cleaner brighter studio, funny how the work seems to glow more on a white wall.... I think it'll be in the next issue so if your a Brighton resident, keep your ear to the ground and look out for a piece on me & my little flag-land.

Who will be lucky number 300

2009-08-26T15:45:00.001-07:00

I've loved having my own online shop, and have so far had 298 sales.... so only 2 more to go to the 300 miles stone.

So I've decided that as big thanks who ever makes the lucky 300th sale will get a free tote bag & postcard pack (worth $25). So you can write to your friends on the lush cards and strut around like me on the beach with a nice new bag (or give it to a girlfriend!)

Be lucky number 300 & Check out the shop here

Today I signed all the Red Propeller prints, popped them in the post (well super-wrapped them in bubble, wood, clingfilm and fragile tape) and got down to scanning some new drawings.A recent love of drawing has emerged in me, and I have to say that I have re-found my addiction to sketching. They are still on 'something old' as ever, a French antique dictionary, with some beautiful illustrations and maps, I'm realising that theres something instantly gratifying from sketching.
I'm putting up some new ones on the online shop..
I'm currently gone through all the A's and now on the B's.. this could be a long project........

Finished!

2009-05-26T16:53:00.001-07:00

Hot from the magic bleaching room. Last week I finished this, my latest commision, its on a handmade palestinian flag:
It was quite a feat of sewing, (although it looks deceptively simple). Of course vintage Palestinian flags don't come up much, so i had to make it. It was surprisingly tricky to find vintage fabric that was the same colour as a palestinian flag. I've now realised that there must be super strong dyes in flags that with stand dyeing them black and bleaching back to their original colour, without going white! I tried to dye some linen green, then dyed it black and it just bleached back to white! So i made this out of a vintage Italian flag (which is a good green), and some vintage red linen, and used the flag rivets from the italian flag to finish it off.

probably my most detailed, eye yet!

New Flags

2009-05-02T13:55:00.001-07:00

Here's some new flags I've made very, very recently, finished last week

I had a little break from 'flag-world' while I made some black brocade works, for the NOIR show , and now feel a slight draw back to flags, theres something magical about bleaching on flags in that you never know what its going to look like until its finished. Some blues go blue (like in Void), others go grey (like in New World), and some just fade to cream (like in Forgotten), so each piece has a big case of random chemical reactions.

The first 2 (Void & New World) will be going to Affordable Art Fair in Bristol with Mauger Modern who are based in Bath. I haven't ever shown my flags in the Bristol AAF, (but have in the last 2 London ones), so it'll be interesting how they are perceived.

Theres been a definate change in my flags recently, the figues are less vulnerable, they are more strong perhaps. I guess thats the positive light that Obama brings, I feel more hopeful for america now than england's foggy future. Obama has the skills to be look empathetic and clever whilst looking like a super-hero. Our boy Gordon Brown however, is mostly seen mumbling, apologysing and looking like a use car salesman, So this month I've unashamedly make 3 more American flags.

I have been attempting of late to make a denim union jack, but having spent about 4 days sewing, pinning and generally wrecking my sewing machine, I had a small hissy fit, tossed it on the fabric pile and vowed to stick to ready-mades.

Void, flag size 87 x 50 cm Dye, bleach and discharge on vintage American flag

New World, flag size 60 x 90 cm, Dye and bleaching technique on embroidered American Flag

Forgotten, flag size 87x 143 cm Dye and bleaching techniques on vintage American flag

NOIR Exhibition at Stella Dore

Bags have arrived!

2009-02-21T12:55:00.000-08:00

The other day, I received a very large box, i yipped with excitement, my bags (fairtrade) had arrived.

Following the mailout I did yesterday about the Stella Dore show, a few folk wondered what these bags look like. Well, today it was sunny down Brighton beach, so I took my new shopper/ tote/ bag and paraded along the promenade!

The bags are:
MATERIAL: Cotton calico, dyed using traditional pigment dyes
SIZE: 38w x 43h - handle length 63cms
PRINT AREA: 28 x 28cms
LIMITED EDITION OF: 200

£15 each

And they are fairtrade accredited, so the cotton is from farmers who have decent working conditions and get a better price for their work.

Stella Dore have started to take pre-orders for them, so if you'd like one, you can either wait til the night of the 5th (email nina@stelladore.co.uk to get on the guest list!),or email stella@stelladore.co.uk to pre-order one.

Free postcards until March 6

2009-02-12T12:01:00.001-08:00

Whats the value of something, that is free? To me, free is the best, the value of something that you are given is surely greater than if you just buy it off the shelf.

Why am i rambling like this? Well, to celebrate the opening of my 'Noir' show at Stella Dore- which opens to the public on March 6th, I decided to do something nice, and free.....

I am giving away a FREE postcard pack with every order through my Etsy Shop. (The postcard pack is worth £7.50, just incase you wondered!) The pack is a lush professionally printed affair of 7 cards.

Have a mooch at my shop here, www.pamglew.etsy.com

eco bags

2009-01-29T03:08:00.000-08:00

ok, so anyone who knows me knows that I'm more than abit obsessed about bags.
I have a vast collection of eco totes to avoid the supermarket checkout people from telling me off ..... (they tut if you ask for a plastic one!)
which is fine as I hate plastic bags, they are ugly, dig into your hands and don't ever biodegrade. So I am pretty amazed that we still use them atall.

So ............ I have designed my very own tote bag, it will be launched at 'Noir' my solo show at Stella Dore, London, heres a sneak peak... they havent actually arrived so this is a kind of preview!
If you'd like to pre-order a bag, please contact stella@stelladore.co.uk.

Quote of the day

2009-01-19T07:54:00.000-08:00

Another blindingly evocative film quote for the day.......

Diane Taylor: [Diane is cuddling with Max as he is driving] Why are we going this way?

Max Cady: Better scenery.

Diane Taylor: What would you know about scenery? Or beauty? Or any of the things that really make life worth living? You're just an animal: coarse, lustful, barbaric.

Max Cady: Keep right on talkin', honey. I like it when you run me down like that.

Diane Taylor: Max Cady, what I like about you is... you're rock bottom. I wouldn't expect you to understand this, but it's a great comfort for a girl to know she could not possibly sink any lower.

Cape Fear 1962

Noir

2009-01-15T07:41:00.000-08:00

OK, So its 2009, its gonna be a good year,

First up is my London solo show titled 'Noir'

I'm the newest addition to the extraordinary and wonderful family of artists at Stella Dore Gallery and am busy working on my show 'Noir' which opens the evening of February 26th, so put that in your diary now....

The work in the show is an exploration of the cinematic imagery of Film Noir. More sophisticated and richer than the horror series, where as the women in the 'fear' work always seemed beautiful but scared, and were basically 'beautiful bait'..... victims....

Times have changed, and America has changed, I'm no longer looking at US as a country run by a loon, no Obama is now in control and I hope the biggest of hopes that he can sort out the can of worms he has inherited, I think he has an incredible job ahead, no one is perfect, and it will take time .. Now our attention is drawn to economy, the money system, banks, corruption and how very fragile our systems are. Corruption, crime, deviousness and winter have led me to watch a lot of Film noir. For it is the movie genre which is set in the darkest of underworlds, dens, gambling joints, seedy clubs, court rooms, its 1940-50s America in the post war era, yet Noir is a seductively delicious feast for the senses.

In quite a reversal, the women in Noir are bad girls; femme fatales, murderesses, adulturers, criminals, hussys.... you get the idea. Dark.

Brocade, flags, and some other surprises will comprise the show.. no more secrets

Check out the 'noir quote of the day' on the homepage:

My current favourite:
"I know you like a book, ya little tramp. You’d sell your own mother for a piece of fudge. But you’re smart with it. Smart enough to know when to sell and when to sit tight. You’ve got a great big dollar sign there where most women have a heart." The Killing (1956)

It has gone down in history as one of Bristol's best ever art shows and certainly kick started a huge interest in Street Art in the city. As well as proving that you don't need to be in an established, white walled gallery to show brilliant art and attract the crowds.

This year they've assembled art from 70 local, national and international artists, once again mixing some of the scenes leading lights with up and coming artists to provide a massive range of work available to buy at prices to suit all purses or simply just to gaze at…

Stitchy Stitchy

2008-11-22T15:04:00.000-08:00

Call it OCD or insanity if you will, but stitching words has become a major part of my latest work and occupied a good part of the 'Old Glory' Show.

I spent many many hours hand sewing these small works. Its like the antithesis of most of my other work, its slow and methodical, repetative but strangely satisfying.

It certainly occupies a completely different head space to spraying stencils.... but I guess cutting stencils is just as repetative. Stencilling is seen as rebelious because of its street art roots, but its easy to forget that someone needs to cut out the stencils for hours & they have probably spent ages staring at their screen in photoshop tweaking the image, so its all a choice of methodology, cutting, stitching, photoshopping, stencilling, ironing, its all an ongoing process...

Heres my latest::

See more here on my stitch 2 gallery page.........

The PDF catalogue of the latest show can be found on the steal from work website here

New Work added & PDF Catalogue

2008-11-15T15:19:00.001-08:00

I recently had a Massive Website rehaul and have now added all the new work to the Flags & Fabrics Galleries, also added the new 'Book Stencils' section that were all in my solo show 'Old Glory' in Bristol.

Old Glory is open.....

2008-11-09T09:14:00.000-08:00

The candles were lit, flags draped, beers popped open and the doors were open for the curiously warming show that is 'Old Glory'...... Friday night was a good night to remember, its one of those rare shows that I can happily stand back from and fully say that I'm happy.....Steal From Work have made the show look phenominally gorgeous. The night was also good to put faces to names & meet peeps that I had only met through cyber world... and before i knew it I was sipping white russian and contemplating the odd journey I've been on this year... This year has been a good one..... and for that I feel incredibly lucky......

So, 'Old Glory', conveniently titled now that America is perhaps discarding the politics of 'old' and bringing in the new...

I can't help but think of how my use of American flags now almost seems to have a new meaning, could we happily be seeing the end to fear culture? Obama has a huge ball of crap to untangle, but I believe he is the man for the job, the world should be safer now that the war mongering ignorant clown that is Bush has less than 2 months to cause any more mischief. Anyway, enough rambling, heres some pretty pictures of the show... all the images are on my flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/pamglew/

The Foundry

2008-09-04T16:41:00.000-07:00

Last week saw a great show at the Foundry- which is an urban/underground/ street/ call it what you will group show in a gritty yet cool bar..... good to put more faces to names - the show has a great mix of urban styles, The Krah, Snub, Rugman, Mr Gauky & Fors being some of my favs..

The Foundry has a weird massive turntable downstairs which begged to be 'surfed'- needless to say.. it got a bit messy as people wizzed round with beers, kinda like having a merry-go-round in a gallery

This is a proper 'grass roots' show- of thats the right term, artists/ streetsters doing it for themselves, another nice touch was that mostly we knew eachother, which is strangely rare, and well, nice i guess.

This show is only up until Sunday- so go take a look, I had my eye on a few things which I'm kinda kicking myself that I didnt just buy when i was there.
I have this other flag upstairs by the piano called 'Key' which is ironic. Looks a tad more sinister than my previous flags: Approx. 141 x 80 cm Discharge, bleach & dye on vintage american flag.

OPENING NIGHT 28th of August
Exhibition is open until the 7th of September
