Winter 2009 Collection - Real Life

Face of Despair

This piece was created out of the reflection and reality of the effects of alcohol. Artist Kirsty Pellant has tried to portray the effects of alcohol when misused – desperation leading to despair.
This work symbolises the dark side of drink that leads to spinning out of control into dark despair. The cloudy head that is beyond repair with the bleeding nose which symbolises the end. A broken life signified by the broken glass and red wine-the mess that is left.

Sweet Indulgence

Artist Kirsty Pellant has used ‘Skittles’ as a media to portray the indulgence of sweets. This colourful and fruity piece boldly allows you to experience at a glance the true meaning of over indulgence. This is a truly tasty mouth watering temptation.

Beyond the Paste

This bright, fun and fresh piece symbolises a bright start to the day. Kirsty Pellant has taken the normal routine of brushing your teeth in the morning as an opportunity to symbolise the excitement of all the day holds spilling over into canvas.

Time of the Month

This contemporary piece expresses the view of most women. A time that repeats itself but yet does not change. A time of misery and pain. A time when emotions and moods change as the colours on the clock. This whole piece is made out of tampons.

Strike


Using the real, physical presence of burning matches she is able to present hot fiery rage and the dramatic terror of a screaming mind through the colours and explosive undertones of her paint. The matches represent the catalyst of this emotion, the spark of the anger and the frustration that brings tension. Here Kirsty has managed to bring passion and emotion to the canvas.

Forever Broken

This piece is based on society’s perceptions of the intimate sphere of love. Kirsty uses the confectionary love hearts to portray the innocence, fun and spontaneity that positivists would see love as resembling. However society’s refusal to allow the love to be the fluid, passionate, free emotion it was designed to be has resulted in the destruction of it. Something so free and pure has become regulated by jealousy, greed and fear which Kirsty demonstrates through the broken heart.

All artwork can be viewed and brought from the Hip Hop gallery, located above Kirsty's shop in Canterbury town centre.
