Art workshop with artist Gail Astbury
Gail was born in Blackpool in the Northwest of England and is an artist, researcher, and educator. She trained in painting at Wimbledon School of Art under Prunella Clough amongst others and more recently gained a MA at Goldsmiths university London in contemporary Arts practices. She exhibits internationally and is commissioned by both private and corporate clients as well as teaching water colour painting at OPEN Ealing Arts Centre. Gail currently lives and works in Westminster London and has a Studio in Limoges in Southwest France.
Her paintings are often serialised, informed by contemporary culture the arts and cinematography,. Although built from observed realities and lived experiences, her paintings become fictional spaces where many inputs are distilled into a palpable set of rhythmic images. She takes a broad approach to methods and materials that encompasses processes, from classical to modern to contemporary image making. She takes her own photographs to draw reference from and uses trial-and-error methods of cropping, colour reduction and rearranging to arrive at her compositions.
In terms of subject matter, her work addresses themes such as urbanization, nature, love, identity, and nostalgia. She describes herself as ' a painter looking to hold onto precious moments in a world of flux.
