About
BOBBYE FERMIE | To Set The Stage
Bobbye Fermie’s practice is an ongoing response to themes of isolation, personal boundaries and social anxiety. The collection of works are quietly captivating and convey a beautiful intimacy and honesty with paired back eloquence and charm
Fermie's practice explores the archetypal portrayal of interiors and homes within culture and storytelling, such as theatre sets and advertisement. Her work explores the juxtaposition between the public and private space and process internal emotions through the use of sets and scenes. Fermie's watercolour paintings and collages depict imagined worlds that are often inhabited by fictional, shapeshifting characters. The viewer is invited into the world of these characters and glimpses a scene of ambiguity following imagined intimate moments. Narratives are often slightly obscured or one layer removed from the viewer, giving them a feeling of separation or voyeurism.
For this new series of watercolour collages titled, ’To Set the Stage', Bobbye further explores the imaginary world, setting the scene for her upcoming solo show with Wilder Gallery in Spring 2024.
Bobbye (b. 1990, Amsterdam, NL) finished the post graduate degree ‘The Drawing Year’ at the Royal Drawing School, London in 2015 after completing her bachelor in Fine Arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. She has participated in several artist residencies including Porthmeor Studios (2021, 2023) and Hafod Residency (2016) and has exhibited with Oliver Projects, Blue Shop Cottage RHODES Contemporary Art.
