Private View

The artist studio has dramatically changed from the old romantic, cliché of a dirty cold garret. Evolving into a work space that is adapted by the artist to cater for their means, enabling the artist to create without distraction. The studio has now become a place of interchangeable meaning. Some artists prefer a clean white space, but others use it as an office; a place to organise production, facilitating fabrication to outside manufactures or to plan schedules for fieldwork.Hosted by Jack Duplock. Private View presents conversations with artists within their studio environment. Discussing the varied ways the studio impacts on their arts practice.

Private View #6: Audrey Roger

May 28, 2020 • Jack Duplock

In Episode 6 Jack talks to the artist Audrey Roger. This is the first episode recorded under the current lockdown. They had the conversation using Skype.

Audrey is a French artist now based in London. Having first studied Fashion and Textile design; her work uses the techniques more associated with fashion, such as weaving to make beautiful minimal abstract paintings that are both poetic in their approach and surface. Drifting between painterly surface and sculptural object.

Audrey graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2019. Previous shows have included: VIA ARTS Prize, Embassy of Brazil, London; New Work, MK11, London; HARK, The Old Shoreditch Station, London, Folk Art Art, Sameheads Berlin, ThreeDee, Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, London; Womens Art Practice and Thinking: A Staged Event, Dorich House Museum, London.

They talked about life in lockdown, reading poetry, and how she was finding making art after graduating - getting oportunities to show work etc.
