BIO & STEPS
Born:
Born in 1969, St Albans, Vermont, USA
Nowadays:
Lives and works in London, UK
Studies:
Joffe
completed her Foundation studies at Camberwell College of Arts (1987–88). She
attended Glasgow School of Art in 1988–91, graduating with honours and
receiving her BA in Fine Art. She received her MA in painting from the Royal
College of Art, which she attended from 1992–94.[3][4]
She was honoured with the Delfina Studio Trust Award
in 1994–96 and the Abbey Scholarship (the British School at Rome) in 1998–99.
Themes and
style:
Hung
around the gallery like banners, her visceral ten-foot tall portraits of women
from the fashion pages are like a degenerate version of social realism. Although
the models are undoubtedly human, with cares and woes, more anodyne
characteristics and expressions are imposed by stylists and photographers.
Joffe seems to resurrect these women as real people, the paint reanimating
faces that were previously mask-like. Chantal Joffe has a distinctive style of
painting which offers an uncompromising sense of power, complexity and impetus
to the female figures she portrays.
Techniques:
His work is developed in paintings.
