Fenella Fielding: Actress

About

Artist Fionn Wilson (who recently curated an ACE-sponsored exhibition about Christine Keeler) has coordinated the creation of fifteen new portraits, by five artists, of actress Fenella Fielding. The artists did not get to meet Fenella but, through her estate, were able to visit her home and hear about her from her close friend and biographer Simon McKay. He gave them access to many unseen images, part of the Fenella Fielding Archive, that they have since used for their work.

The resulting group exhibition examines Fenella's film and theatre career, her carefully crafted image, the much-celebrated 'Carry On Screaming' smoking scene and Fenella as herself, in unguarded moments.

In addition to these portraits, there will be a room of 3D Fenella exhibits including Andrew Logan's 2002 Fenella head, Martin Firrell's 2014 metaFenella and Patrick Boyd's newly created lenticular (moving) images.

Exhibition curated by Fionn Wilson and Simon McKay.

Exhibiting artists: Natalie Dowse, Sal Jones, Cathy Lomax, Jeanette Watkins and Fionn Wilson.

With thanks to The Fenella Fielding Foundation.
