Gemma Nelson
The Slade School Of Fine Art, Painting
UPDATE: Recently been selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2008.
Highly obsessive and organic in construction; the paintings I produce weave like cells, creating delicate chaotic tapestries in response to feminist texts and fairytales. Using indian inks and mixed media on canvas, my paintings are high pitched in colour, creating illusionary spaces, surfaces and worlds that are both resonant and abstract.
I graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2007. I was a finalist in the Nationwide Mercury Art Prize 2007, having a show at ‘The Hospital’ gallery in Covent Garden. I was also one of the shortlisted for the "4 New Sensations" prize, having an exhibition with Saatchi Gallery and Channel Four.
