Pam Glew

Pam Glew, born 1978, is a contemporary artist who is best known for her unique bleaching technique on national flags. She uses dye and stitch to paint, deconstruct and distress vintage materials in her own breed of painting. Heavily inspired by film, her strong cinematic paintings often use screen stills of women in film as their starting point. Her current ‘circus series’ references eclectic found imagery, using subjects from 1960s classic films and contemporary icons. She is one of the few female British artists to emerge in recent years and her large-scale work has been showcased in Europe, USA, Asia and Australia in over 80 group exhibitions and 4 solo shows. Her flag series is keenly collected worldwide. Pam was selected as the first artist to make an Art Star for Ralph Lauren Polo Jeans. Projects for 2010 include solo shows in Sydney, Australia and London, UK.
