Twinkle Troughton
Drag to set position!
Working mainly in acrylic on canvas, her paintings can be bold and direct or subtle and thoughtful, combining politics with matters of the heart.
“I make work which is heavily influenced by Britain both now and as it was 2-300 years ago. I’m questioning a lot of our cultural habits inherited through generations. I guess I’m looking at how on the surface everything changes yet underneath many things don’t change at all.”
Solo shows have been held at The Pure Evil Gallery and Bristol’s Steal From Work. Her work was also featured in-store in Selfridges on Oxford St. For two years Twinkle was also represented by the Stella Dore Gallery in Old St London until it closed in 2009. Other previous exhibitions include an emerging British Artist show at Redbull’s prestigious Hangar-7 Gallery in Salzburg from Oct – Dec 2010 (www.hangar-7.com).
Twinkle has had commissions from the likes of Daimon Dash and Howard Marks, sales to the cast of Harry Potter stars and has been a Celeste Art prize finalist. Her work is also in the collection of Dietrich Mateschitz (owner of Redbull).
“Twinkle’s work is a Carry On-esque, enjoyable, if unsettling dissection of all things Queen and country, like a fairytale taxidermy exhibition for the Heat generation.” Urban Junkies
The artist has been featured and interviewed in Dazed and Confused, Spain’s El Pais newspaper, Metro Newspaper, Plus1 Magazine, Amelia’s Magazine amongst others. For a list of press and for copies please get in touch.
