About The Artwork
Claire Pestaille's work explores historical and contemporary iconography, examining the construction of femininity through the disruption of photographic imagery. Uncannily bewitching and intricately delicate, her artwork exudes dualities of beauty and horror, glamour and subversion. The source material for her work includes portraiture from the Golden Age of Hollywood incorporating film stills along with contemporary and vintage photography. These snapshot images containing memories of a past age fulfill a sense of nostalgia, identity and authorship which are transformed and re-imagined through the act of collage and painting. A new conversation or connection becomes established through the deconstruction of one image and its marriage with another. Pestaille adopts a variety of methods in order to produce these often, psychologically charged works. The final result questions the conceptual nature of the image and our relationship to it, offering an alternative way of seeing and understanding the collective memory of images pervasively part our cultural landscape.

Taking ownership of images from the past through the act of collage, my work establishes relationships and connections between the existence of one image and it's marriage with another. Photographs duplicated, cut up, divided and re-assembled like a jigsaw puzzle allow me to intervene with the authority of the original in order to create fresh readings born from the disruption of existing signs. www.claire-pestaille.co.uk www.facebook.com/claire.pestaille www.twitter.com/ClairePestaille www.paulstolpergallery.com www.5piecesgallery.com
