RUTH BIRCHAM, london
Member Since February 2014
Artist Statement My name is Ruth Bircham I live in London, I am a self-taught artist who has studied a BA (Hon) degree in Fine Art Combined Media at Croydon College from 2001-2005. I use a variety of Medias and mediums in my work and subject’s covers a wide area which is inspired by the environment. My influences, thoughts, emotions, experiences and ideas are combined to create art that defies the normalities in our environment. I use the naked human form in my works to draw attention to certain concepts in the laws of ‘real and extreme’. For example, how we deal with the differences between our expectations and the reality of what actually happens in the mind when confronted with an Erotic image. My art deals with ideas that consider the impact of the male/female gaze and how the effects may provoke fantasy, intimidation, and confrontational views. My art work ‘Forbidden Fruit’ is based on Sexual Aesthetic which depends on the viewer’s own perception of how the naked form in motion should be deemed, as an art form instead of pornography. I found it very interesting how the skin changed colours as the body moved, very fascinating.
