Steyning Arts art trail – not long to go!

12/05/2022 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

I am exhibiting with some very experienced artists who know their way round a publicity campaign and I’m playing catch-up here with a use of PowerPoint I never could have imagined a few years ago! These are just some of the paintings I’ll be taking and because almost all of them have embedded AR (augmented reality) videos, you might want to get hold of the Artivive app for the full singing, dancing experience. You’ll be able to activate the video once you get your painting home too. Using Artivive: the AR works by recognising a photograph of the painting and … Continue reading Steyning Arts art trail – not long to go!

Subversion – personal painting, #rift

08/05/2022 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

I’m quite fond of subverting what might be described as genre output by juxtaposing or underpinning a relatively traditional piece with something that jolts it a bit. So when I came across an ad for a painting-by-numbers Van Gogh, my mind had already raced to an idea involving tracing and cutting out the numbered areas then enlarging and exploding them over an A1 card. But reality had other ideas. The schematic is printed onto the canvas which, unlike the ones from my childhood, is real and not a piece of cardboard. But even if it had been a firm surface, … Continue reading Subversion – personal painting, #rift

I was thinking this time of socio-political rifts and what more fundamental one could there be but the impact of Brexit on the union? Scotland, which has been pressing for independence for many years, is closer than ever to having … Continue reading Personal Painting – Rift #3

Personal painting – recycling (Rift #2.2)

21/04/202227/04/2022 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

After taking yesterday’s multi-layered piece almost to breaking point and assuming I’d finished, I couldn’t help but take another run at it today. This time I had green screen in mind from the start. First, I gave it a wash … Continue reading Personal painting – recycling (Rift #2.2)

Personal painting – Rift #2

19/04/202227/04/2022 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

This is a little way off the ‘rift’ topic although it might be preparatory. I made a painting from one of my own photos of sheep sheltering from the sun in a thicket and deliberately included a strip of the … Continue reading Personal painting – Rift #2

Addressing formative feedback

15/04/2022 Suzanne Conboy-Hill

This session happened a little while ago and so I have had time to reduce detail to concept, although the detail I had requested – whether OCA used an absolute measure for essay word count or the more usual +/- 10% (it’s the latter) – was a welcome one that needed no reduction. Some points, the matter of ethics in research for instance, have become redundant for now as I have decided against running a survey at the forthcoming art trail. My sense is that the logistics of the setting may not be conducive. Another, relating to a discussion about … Continue reading Addressing formative feedback
