BIO
Inez
Valentine is an artist and designer based in London, and describes her
work as a method of unscrambling the everyday's swirl of images and
hidden messages:
"I
like to recreate and recontextualise phone photos, poems, overheard
conversations and adverts to create new meanings. Drawing these
fragments together, I mesh my personal desires with the public sphere. Stemming
from my love for printmaking, I started airbrushing because it lets me
work directly onto almost any material. When using it on paper, I
usually combine it with drawing, digital prints and gouache. I also make
clothes under the moniker aircrush, and
have since collaborated with various fashion designers, airbrushing
direct to garment. I see my work as sitting somewhere on the boundary
between art and fashion, and I like to try and merge the two." Instagram: @inezvalentine
FORMAT
Our
series of Thursday Evening workshops will focus on extending drawing through
low-tech, low cost, DIY techniques. The creatives leading each workshop are
young and emerging, yet each is working in a strong and accomplished way with
their approach and materials.
WHO
Anyone who is interested in drawing or who draws but would like to try out new
materials and techniques centred on drawing.
