The (BA) Fine Art course allows the student to develop their proffesional practice through studio time, seminars, artist talks and close mentoring from tutors/artists. The course is split into single disciplines such as painting, sculpture, print, photography, in order to gain specialist mentoring. A freedom to move between disciplines, however, is available.
I am currently in my final year at Manchester Metropolitan, studying (BA) Fine Art - Painting.
I produce figurative paintings. My recent work stems from an interest in carnival and ritural in early modern Europe. Carnival was traditionally a time of unrule, excess eating, drinking and ritural games. It was also a time of increased sexual activity and violence. These paintings explore themes of excess, popular imagery, sex , violence, unrule and the notion of the world upside down.
