ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This particular body of work is a follow on or deeper exploration of my initial works. Early on in my painting journey I was most interested in capturing patterns and fabrics within a scene or visualised on a face or body as a flat image, but each time as the paintings took shape, I would naturally end up insisting on painting painting the shadows, highlights and contours of the objects, giving them a life-like feel. Although this was never an original intention, I realised that this must be something within my hand that subconsciously keeps wanting to come out. At university, I studied printed textile design and looking back now I can see that my main interest was in visualising the patterns on an object or illustrated body more than the actual fabric designs themselves.  Created as part of a series of three interrelating oil paintings on linen. The fabric contours distort the painterly stripes like gradients on a map, disappearing and appearing again at an opposed angle, offering movement and change of pace. While the three images don't flow into each other and would work equally well as a singular image or a duo, they each have their own sense of space and story while creating an impactful family as a triptych together. Finished with a rustic gold leaf edge that bleeds onto the front of the canvas, catching the light. Ready to hang.

Textile designer and artist, Jojo Bedell creates mixed media artworks from her home studio in East London. Born and raised in Sheffield, Jo's natural interest in art started from a young age, encouraged by her mother and older sister who would often be drawing, painting and creating at home. Following her sister's path into fashion and completing her textile design degree in Nottingham, Jo moved to London and worked as a textile print designer for ten years, creating prints for various fashion brands and interiors. However, when the pandemic hit and Jo was expecting her first child, she decided to pursue her true passion and devote her time to creating her own art more seriously. With her roots in textiles still very visible in her work, Jo's print filled paintings derive from themes exploring her current personal experiences. Her first works were centered around interiors and a longing for outdoors and nature when "lockdown" had us stuck indoors, with her collection "Part of the Furniture" taking direct inspiration from this time. Since the birth of her son, the ideas behind her work have naturally been inspired by the chaos and beauty of motherhood and identity, and the constant mixed emotions around work and childcare. Her mixed media pieces so far incorporate acrylic, oil, pastels, ink, gold leaf, charcoal and graphite, and as she continues to create and evolve as an artist, Jo remains committed to exploring new techniques and finding new opportunities to see where her art can take her.
