Former students from the
Lincoln School of Art and Design are returning to the Greestone Building to
exhibit their work in the gallery.
Two years after graduating
in Fine Art, the three former students - John Cameron (22), Jodie White (25)
and Tom Walker (23) - have returned to display their work in the school’s
Greestone Gallery.
Tom will act as the curator
for the exhibition which will involve a combination of John and Jodie’s work.
John makes paintings from
bright, colourful everyday synthetic materials such as balloons and pins.
“I like to challenge
assumptions of what painting is,” said John.
Jodie tends to work with
domestic objects, creating strange, illusory hybrids.
“I intervene and re-present
every object to manipulate how the viewer may read them,” said Jodie.
Since graduating, John from
Cowdenbeath, Fife, has been completing his study with a postgraduate programme
at Goldsmiths College, University of London whilst Jodie from Stevenage and Tom
from Lincoln have been pursuing their own practices.
A piece of Tom’s work was
recently shortlisted for the national Pizza Express drawing prize.
“We have always maintained
a good relationship with our students both during and after their courses,”
said Medina Hammad, Fine Art course co-ordinator. “We are flattered and delighted that these students have decided
to show their work at our gallery.
“They have also agreed to
give talks to our current students on the life after university and their own
practices.”
All are welcome to attend
the exhibition which will be displayed at the Greestone Gallery on Lindum Road
until 25th April, 9.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday.
