Artists

Narelle Jubelin Sídney,

Since 1996 resides in Madrid.

 

1979-1982 Bachelor of Fine Arts, Alexander Mackie College of Advanced Education, Sydney.

1983 Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Art Studies, City Art Institute, University of New South Wales, Sydney.

Between 1985 and 1987 she co-founded Firstdraft Gallery, Sydney, one of the first artist-run spaces in Australia.

She is currently part of the artists' collective that manages ABM Confecciones in Madrid.

 

 

Her work focuses mainly on the Modern architectural movement and the art of the time. Taking certain works as a reference and specific stories related to them, he delves into others of greater scope that over time weave a plot that manages to expand these stories, taking up the projects some time later and adapting them conceptually to the different contexts and spaces in which they are installed. This is a common method in her way of working that she approaches from different media such as sculpture, engraving or multimedia installation, but especially from embroidery, small and delicate petit points made in many occasions from photographic documents. Her miniature embroideries condense a great capacity for critical and conceptual analysis, as well as surprising with their exquisite technical detail whose interest lies in both the front and the back.
