Victoria Malcolm

Carmarthen
My work is about imagery, borrowed and reworked. I relish the inevitable quotations from painting in history, classical, modern and contemporary, both in subject and painterliness.

 I am interested in how images can speak, in the the subtleties of visual language in translation from one medium to another. I work figuratively as a route to narrative painting based on existing images, personal, archive and found imagery.

I assemble collections of images which offer connections both familiar and unfamiliar , in order to spark associations of experience within the lives of others. In this way I seek connections. I consider myself a socially engaged visual artist.

I have set aside my art practice of late, in order to reconsider what is most important to me in life...family, the environment, locally and globally, and how best I can apply creative thinking. Exhibiting, selling and making for the public are of less interest to me at the moment. I know I am still a visual artist fundamentally and that will manifest itself in multiple ways.

My formative years were spent living in North and South Africa and London before settling in West Wales as an adult, so I am a seasoned 'outsider', accustomed to adapting to new cultures and spoken languages. 

An early training in traditional fine art painting underpins all my figurative work, with a more recent graduation in contemporary practice and theory for a 1st class BA (Hons) in Fine Art painting at the West Wales College of the Arts.
