Having just completed the four year degree in Fine Art at Reading and gaining a first I plan to move to Bristol to set up art projects within the community and continue to champion contemporary painting and further my practice alongside other rising artists. My work challenges the institution of its creation and is both aware of, and in dialogue with, the environment it inhabits. With the focus on instalment and display, my work explores the notions of ‘a painting’ and its paint: conscious of its own content and indeed its context within a space.

Work of art I would like to make
for this particular project I would continue to champion painting with the view than in 25 years the boundaries within the art world will have become even more blurred between the arts and perhaps obsolete entirely. The erroneous categories that we persist in putting art into can be removed and painting can be presented not in a frame against a wall, in a white cube, but as all encompassing, as an environment within the environs of the ever present institution of the art world
By creating an environment of painting within a space, and by drawing on painting’s historical context, contemporary discourse and future projections, I wish to challenge and question the conventions of both painting itself and its display. Incorporating the critical discourse within the art world and the ever raging polemical debate between art, specifically painting, and its institutions, physically within the space it inhabits, I aim to exploit and to some extent exacerbate the problems housed within the traditional gallery space.
There is a perfomativity inherent in painting that which I wish to draw attention to. It can all too often be lost in the fetishistic nature of its display within a gallery or institution’s walls. By undermining and inverting these presupposed hierarchies the paintings can inhabit a space and incorporate its architectural features uninhibited by the stigma that can be attributed to work within such a context.
In this manner the work produced would express arts constant and organic evolution both aware of its past, but in constant competition for its future.
