About The Artwork

" Meet the Locals" is inspired by members' clubs which was an important social hub for the local community. As we know many hidden secrets lie behind the surface conviviality. Here in "Meet the Locals" we get a glimpse of excesses behind the scenes when everyone is beyond hope . The beautiful girls pimped up in their scanty garb take part in a beauty competition where only one wins. The painting hangs on the central figure, a sad old man sipping his pint and hanging onto his fag. When making these works I get transported into the life of the characters and focus on portraying them truthfully.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
