‘Old Glory’

PAM GLEW SOLO SHOW NOVEMBER 2008


Pam Glew, best known for vandalising international flags to create powerful portraits of women, brings a new collection of work to Bristol.

Working directly onto vintage American flags, fabric and books and inspired by her love of obscure horror movies, she creates an aesthetic that is both alluring and haunting.

Expect to see iconic portraits of actresses in contemporary cinema made by dyeing and bleaching vintage textiles, intricate gold stitched words on scraps of flags and stencilled images of shocked women on book covers. This new work continues her ‘Fear Series’, which this year has been seen at Brick Lane Gallery, Black Rat Press, London and Carmichael Gallery, Los Angeles.

Last year Pam Glew exhibited in Bristol at ’12 days of Christmas’ the phenomenal urban art show in Broadmead Police Station. Whilst Pam Glew has shown in many street art and urban art shows, her innovative use of materials and delicate manipulation of fabric sets her apart from the genre with a delicate touch. She utilizes the craftsmanship of confessional art whilst giving the viewer a very modern and decadent take on pop art. We invite you to join us.

Should be a cracker - her flag in Graffle was one of my favourite pieces

[Agent Provocateur]

Yep, fantastic work... wish I could afford a flag as imo her work doesn't translate into a screen print very well

[mred]

Totally agree would love a flag but a little outside my price range

Pam's work has been championed by us for sometime.

Her work is fantastic and if you've yet to see it in the flesh then get along and check it.

Good luck

She makes amazing prints that are truly beautiful and all prints are at very low editions.
