Vibrant, full of movement and life, as always with her work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGina Southgate is primarily a live painter, best known on the international jazz scene where she produces spectacular, qualitative, real-time paintings. For over three decades she's painted at gigs and festivals capturing the vitality and nuance in her unique portraits of world-class musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe also performs creating real-time audio\/visual interactive artworks with improvising musicians. Coming up through the world of freely improvised music and spontaneous site-specific performance happenings on the avant-garde fringe in the 90's Southgate was encouraged by the inclusivity of that scene to perform herself. In this role, she creates and manipulates site-specific artworks with paint, props and objects. These are chosen for their absurdist qualities as well as for their visual and sculptural potential and their sonic abilities. She explores in performance the futility and irony of domesticity and labour. Southgate's degree training in metalwork and its necessary long-winded skills served as a springboard and a catalyst to a world where art is made in and of the moment, fuelled by and aligned with the musicians she interacts with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe currently performs in duos with Maggie Nicols and Charles Hayward and had a longstanding duo with the late John Russell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59617635860814,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1034\/6168\/3534\/files\/Gina_Southgate_Hot_Beef_Three.jpg?v=1778423408"},{"product_id":"jocks-wee-croft-by-john-damari-original-signed","title":"Jock's Wee Croft by John Damari - Original \u0026 Signed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJock's Wee Croft\u003c\/em\u003e by John Damari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStunning work by Scottish post-war and contemporary artist John Damari, oil on canvas, with his recognisable use of the palette knife.
