ICONIC UK ARTIST PAM GLEW MAKES AUSTRALIAN DEBUT IN SYDNEY
Luminaries is a new solo exhibition by renowned British artist Pam Glew, who brings her own brand of iconic imagery Sydney for her first exhibition in Australia from May 6 - 22, 2010. The exhibition, presented by Bicker Gallery will be held in a secret pop-up in Sydney city - location and details will be revealed soon (via Bicker Gallery mailing list).
This will be the first time Glew has exhibited in Australia - her work already features in important collections in Europe, USA and the Far East. The artist has been featured in various Urban Art shows in London, Los Angeles and Paris. Luminaries will be her 9th solo exhibition and will be installed in the pop-up, temporary style of exhibition commonly adopted in the UK, at a random location.
Pam Glew is a contemporary artist, best known for her unique method of ingraining imagery onto opulent and richly textured fabrics. She uses dye, stitch, bleach and other removal mediums to paint portraits on material so that the portraits seem to magically emerge from the fabric. Glew will sometimes embellish a piece with stitching and embroidery creating a beautiful and delicate finish to her mesmerizing art work.
In past exhibitions Glew has incorporated her work into antique and vintage US and UK national flags. To celebrate her arrival in the Southern Hemisphere as well as this major solo show in Sydney, Pam Glew will be working for the first time with the Australian flag. This unique collection will be expertly crafted by the artist using vintage denim, stars and stripes and antique red, white and blue linen.
As with past works Glew will be using images of iconic and celebrated individuals within our society. For this special Australian solo show her works will feature the UK's favorite Australian sisters - Danni and Kylie Minogue, as well as homegrown international supermodels Miranda Kerr and Gemma Ward.
Glew has taken inspiration from the Australian flag itself, with hints of astronomy and a star lit night sky evident. Each portrait could almost be a film still with an extraordinary luminance which seems to radiate or reflect light.
Bicker Gallery is proud to present this new series of work by Pam Glew and is excited to be showcasing her unique painting style to Australia for the first time. Bicker represents artists on a primary basis and looks to nurture grass roots artists locally, giving them exposure internationally.
