Phoebe Unwin Talk

About

Sustaining A Practice — Artists of Repute Artists talk about what keeps them going Phoebe Unwin, Painter, British Art Show 7, Hayward Gallery 2011 (dates tbc) ‘Unwin references and explores a world we all experience visually, verbally and sensationally: a figure infects and affects its space, as if thoughts are made into things; a grubby patterned Underground seat blocks a view; the shape of a head is formed by a uniformed edge of toothpaste-like stripes; pictures of notepaper become a layered collected mass of white on whites.' Phoebe Unwin was born in Cambridge in 1979 and lives and works in London. She studied at Newcastle University and Slade School of Fine Art. Recently her work was exhibited as part of the British Art Show 7, a Hayward Gallery National Touring Exhibition. Recent solo shows have taken place at Honor Fraser, Los Angeles (2009); Wilkinson (2008, 2006) and Milton Keynes Gallery (2007). Group shows include: The Saatchi Gallery, London; IFF Gallery, Marseille; CIRCUIT, Centre for Contemporary Art, Lausanne; MOCA, Los Angeles (all 2010); Jerwood Space, London (2009) Tickets : £5 for DIY members, £10 non members.
