Mauger Modern, “Beautiful And Damned”, Solo exhibition by Pam Glew
24. May 2011 – 29. May 2011
81 Rochester Row, London SW1P 1LJ
Pam Glew practices a unique bleaching technique on fabric and flags. She uses dye and bleach to deconstruct and distress vintage materials in her own breed of painting. Her current ‘beautiful and damned’ series references subjects from the 1920-30s, silent films and tragic stars of the screen. Her style reminds the works of Art Nouveau mostly because of her using of floral ornaments.
