Pam Glew, born in 1978, is a Brighton based artist best known for her distinctive paintings on fabric.
Collage, sewing paper, flags and textiles are used to explore and question how identity is constructed by the places we inhabit. Paint, inks and pigment are applied to found fabric adhered to panels, often incorporating contemporary and vintage Japanese prints, vintage denim and heirloom textiles. The use of textiles and dress making pattern; washing, dyeing and sewing cloth are a nod to the scarcity of women artists documented in the history of art.
Pam has produced commissions for Armani, Ralph Lauren, MTV and Microsoft and has collaborated with iconic photographer Terry O'Neill. Her work is housed at Saatchi & Saatchi London, Red Bull and Mitsubishi Bank and can be found in private collections worldwide.
More recently, having become a mother, her work has taken a new turn, using still life as a focus, but often referencing women’s work using pattern paper and domestic textiles.
