JANE DINMORE
B. 1972. London, U.K
Jane Dinmore is an abstract artist who uses vibrant colours and humour to create absurd paintings. The work has sense of joy and freedom by using witty amorphous lines and solid anthropomorphic forms. These works are balanced with a camp sensibility.
The work is created by using a spontaneous dialogue of vivid colour, shape and the consciousness. They are created by layering rounded forms, loose gestures and heavy definite marks. Dinmore’s nostalgia for mid-century art & design is presence in the work. We see fragments of memory, nonsense and subliminal messaging turned into landscapes, which hold a sense of optimism. The comical titles allude to mischief with a trace of human presence: the objects we leave behind or hide behind. Recognisable motifs like mouse holes and the characterful body parts are a favourite narrative cues for Dinmore.
Dinmore work glories in the ephemeral, where fleeting moments become playful mythologies. The result; jovial abstractions of disjointed tales. Sound and sculptural works add to Dinmore peculiar world.
Jane Dinmore studied Fine Art Painting at the Hertfordshire University, graduating in 1995. She continued her studies at Goldsmiths, London, graduating in 1999. Dinmore moved her London studio to the East Sussex coast in 2006. Dinmore creates illustrations for performer Barbara Brownshirt, the creation of Karen McLeod.
