Artist Statement:
Jeannine Holloway was born in 1988 and has lived in Blackpool all of her life. Recently graduated from Blackpool and The Fylde College with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and Professional Practice. Her work focuses mainly on the figurative and portraiture and is strongly influenced by beauty. Her appreciation for art, seen and created for its aesthetic values, leads her to paint her images with more emphasis on style and composition rather than concept or narrative. Jeannine has worked on a number of community projects in the local area, including the complete restoration of 'They Shoot Horses Don't They' (the world's biggest mirrorball) situated on South Promenade, Blackpool. She is currently a practicing artist, intent on furthering her skills and contacts within the creative industries.
I am very interested in 'the beautiful'. My art is strongly influenced by aesthetics and aesthetic values. I do not want to tell someone what they should be feeling when they look at my art. Just as I do not want to tell someone what they should see or how they should see it. I am interested to know what is 'seen by others' from what I create.
The figures in my paintings here are situated in a 'none-space' which emanates a sense of silence and stillness. The soft colours pulsate into and out of the white backgrounds, while some figures are missing heads and other parts of their body completely. These figurative paintings have underlying concerns regarding the delicate and fragile nature of the human body and mind.
