SandraMinchin
Grand Master Planners is pleased to
represent artist Sandra Ann Vita Minchin
Born in Galway, Sandra Minchin received
a B.A. in Fine Art from the Limerick School of Art and Design (1996). She subsequently completed a Masters
Degree in Crawford College of Art, Cork, where she specialised in video art and
installation-based work. Her
artistic practise and her work as a curator have seen her exhibiting and
working nationally, and internationally in locations such as Shanghai,
Amsterdam, Melbourne and the United Arab Emirates. Most recently she was a part of the group photoraphy
exhibition All My Lovin’ at
Crawford Art Gallery, Cork. Minchin will be performing new work at Duckie,
London and will also be doing a performance at the Lorne Sculpture Show,
Australia alongside Stelarc and
Jill Orr.
Minchin has developed a reputation for
taking radical departures in installation, performance and photography. In Are all the Roses blue and the
Violence red?, Minchin deals with subconscious fears, responding to her
personal experiences of illness and making reference to the martyred, executed
and tortured body. Minchin uses
photography, objects and installation to evoke fear of the unknown while
simultaneously concealing the pain and fear of the sufferer. Her combination of controversial and
striking imagery through various media convey a thought-provoking and
stimulating body of work which challenges the viewer to confront their own
bodily and psychological fears.
