Georgina Vinsun
Degree: BA Fine Art Painting (Hons)
University: Loughborough University
Graduation Year: 2005
Vinsun creates works that are both ephemeral and essential. The artist’s palimpsestic technique invests the works with the depth and atmosphere of a Turner, and the surface interest and information of graffiti.
“My practice focuses on the night sky, cloud formations and spontaneous, gestural mark-making. The spontaneous element is of particular importance to me, and it is prominent in the drawings and hidden underneath shimmering veils of varnish-rich oil paint in the paintings.
My technique gives the works a sense of hidden depth and youth, as the marks look almost graffiti-like. This, combined with the figurative element, gives the viewer an abstract image of the sky. My use of colour is instinctive, often impulsive and references digital and film source material. Using colour, I capture fleeting feelings and emotions experienced out in the elements at night.”
