Bo Garbo

I am a mixed-media artist, just graduated from the painting course at Camberwell College of Arts, UAL, currently living and working in London. A love and a hatred for societal values and expectations pushed on us often through the media, comes through heavily in my work in an often brutal yet tongue in cheek feminist fashion. Visually, my work is pink, tacky and often grotesque. There is something I find attractive in an object that is so hideously over-the-top that it makes me want to puke. However, within these often overwhelming confrontations, there are elements of subtlety and quiet. A push and pull feeling of hideousness and elegance, of loudness pulling against vulnerability, things that make you want to look away but keep looking at the same time.
