Artist
Statement:
Working with acrylic on canvas Tinsel creates her own imagery, making
paintings that are inspired by both her own photography and images from
popular culture. She superimposes text on her canvases, creating ironic,
humorous messages that juxtapose and complement the imagery, giving the
work a highly nostalgic, yet contemporary feel that resonates with its
own pop culture. Since graduating with a fine art degree in 2001, Tinsel
has exhibited in several galleries nationwide. Commissions have included
businesses such as Absolut Vodka. She has recently sold pieces of her
work to a number of well known artists, Tinsel has also previously had
widespread recognition from the likes of Cosmo , The Evening Standard
and Time Out.
