MMA PRESENTS PAM GLEW 'BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED', by toryfluff on May 8, 2011 21:55:08 GMT 1, Mauger Modern Art presents Pam Glew ‘Beautiful and Damned’ @ Blackall Studios in Shoreditch (25-29th May) 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. 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.
Glew acknowledges the influence of some of the great Pop artists like Johns and Warhol while we also see a nod to women’s installation art and post-modern film theory allowing her to comment on contemporary society in a more poetic and subtle way than we [img src="[/img]"]usually see in the urban scene.

MMA PRESENTS PAM GLEW 'BEAUTIFUL AND DAMNED', by mred on May 9, 2011 19:19:05 GMT 1, Have been a fan of Pam's work for a number of years now and was lucky enough that she agreed to produce a rather special flag recently for me.
It is going to be fun to see how her work has developed since the Circus show last year, I am sure she will amaze us as normal. Some great back stories to the chosen characters
Going to be weird heading back to LSG, I assume it is under new management thank god.
