Interview Amongst Winner Of Threadneedle Prize 2014

This is an interview amongst Tina Jenkins, the winner of the Threadneedle Prize 2014 - the 6th woman mortal winner of the prize inwards the vii years it has been running.

Tina has won prizes before:

She was runner upward inwards the Marmite Painting Prize inwards 2010,
was awarded the Owen Ridley Prize at the University of Reading for a MFA projection and
currently she is the recipient of a bursary from Reading University to query her PhD inwards 2014.

I asked Tina about:

how she came to live an artist
why she entered the Threadneedle Prize
her icon - together with the materials she uses for painting

Here's my video interview amongst her which took house at the Mall Galleries this morning.

Other quotes from Tina include:

My paintings are all nearly analysis. I'm looking at how paintings are constructed today and analysing that through genuinely making operate equally opposed to simply talking nearly it

The figures are all painted get-go together with and hence I tegument off indiscriminate parts of the figures together with infill the gaps amongst abstract gestures. It tin live really frustrating because I don't convey command equally to how much comes off, sometimes I tegument off likewise much together with that makes the icon really hard to operate with

Paint is really versatile but frail fabric together with hence is the plastic, putting the pigment on the plastic heightens tensions betwixt the 2 together with forces me to mean value through those tensions equally I'm working.

All inwards all it's a large squelch upward of technique materials together with context, completely hysterical

I'll write nearly the remainder of the Exhibition tomorrow - when the exhibition opens to the public.

The exhibition is at the Mall Galleries betwixt 25th September to 11th Oct 2014 (10am - 5pm). Admission is free.
