Jenny Soep

Renowned visual artist Jenny Soep uses her own specialised style to simultaneously translate onto digital or paper canvas, live original music and arts performances. She has used varying mediums and technologies including iPod, mobile phone, wacom tablet and 'traditional' paper and watercolours, though predominantly now uses iPad.

The aim is for the 'in situ' drawings to be affected by the live event, music, atmosphere, special effects and time constraints.

Jenny Soep has her MA in Illustration: Authorial Practice with work in publications and collections internationally, having exhibited across Europe and as far away as Taiwan.

She has been creating 'experience' drawings since drawing at a Jazz festival in 2000, and has collaborated with animators, sound designers, actors, dancers, musicians, playwrights and psychodramatists. Jenny Soep has created and performed integral drawing performances in theatre as well as having documented various prestigious live art, literature, music, dance and theatre events, not least being the 'official drawer' for Sweden's own Polar Music Prize, this year being awarded to Youssou N'Dour and Kaija Saariyaho.
