Скачать или смотреть Introducing Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press

Recently acquired for the collection, Fiona Banner’s suite of drawings ‘The Bastard Word Studies’ (2006-7) is on display in our London exhibition ‘To the Stars: Illuminating the Art Collection in 50 Works’.

This interview reveals how Fiona’s childhood experiences and influences have shaped her art today. An ongoing theme in her art, Fiona has drawn military aircraft since she was a teenager and has always dwelled on the uneasy tension between aircraft as a revered spectacle of beauty and a brutal weapon of conflict.

We are grateful to the Art Fund for generously assisting the purchase of ‘The Bastard Word Studies’ by Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press through Acquisitions Grant support. Film by Curator Julia Beaumont-Jones.
