Beautiful and Damned

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.

Opening night at Moniker

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...

Luminaries

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

Bags have arrived!

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.

Very Exciting

The brand spanking, new, spangly and rather sexy Stella Dore gallery space is opening on Thursday 27th (open 6-9pm), its a group show including:

Eine
Pure Evil
Cept
Modern Toss
Cat Johnston
Chu
Eelus
I-Lib
Shok 1
Kid Acne
Pam Glew
Rugman
Tinsel Edwards
Twinkle Troughton

So certainly one to see, its also the same night as the Herakut show, which is certainly another show to check out on Thursday.

If you would like to go on the guest list for the Stella Dore show, contact : stella@stelladore.co.uk
maybe see you there x
