Jane McAdam Freud – Interview
Jane McAdam Freud is an award-winning, internationally acclaimed sculptor and multidisciplinary artist. Very early on, museums and institutions began acquiring her relief works and drawings. Writing is a large part of her practice and McAdam Freud has published over twenty papers on her works and process. Graduating with honours in 1981 from the Central School of Art in London, she went on to be awarded the British Art Medal Scholarship in Rome – an accolade she held for three years. She continued to teach short courses at the Royal College of Art while from 1993-95 combining that role with a Master’s degree (Project title: Forms of Relief).
Shani Rhys James – Exhibition
Connaught Brown is delighted to present Hunan-ynysu : Self Island, an exhibition by the acclaimed Welsh artist Shani Rhys James. In her arresting still lifes, portraits and interiors Rhys James examines her own image and relationships to explore the transience of being. Created over the past year during the Covid filled months, this new body of work reflects upon the challenges and realisations we have been confronted with, as both individuals and society.
Roberto Voorbij – Q&A
Roberto Voorbij is a multidisciplinary artist apart from working with ‘ready made’ materials, he works with video, 3D Software and (digital) collage. Commerciality and public space are recurring themes in Voorbij’s work. What highly fascinates him about this is the underlying history, politics and marketing strategy of our seemingly neutral environment. His works are often socially critical. Another recurring theme concerns the art world/art market and the way in which the artist manifests itself here, as well as the autonomy of the artwork that’s being questioned.
Charlotte Fraigneau – Interview
Charlotte Fraigneau is a visual artist using both analogue and digital photography as a lens through which we can open a conversation about mental health and global warming. She is interested in exploring our mental, physical and emotional responses to overwhelming stimuli as well as the often negative yet sometimes beautiful impact of humans on the planet.
