THE PAINTINGS
These paintings from private collections show a range of Gina Bold's work from the last two years and chart the transition from the outer through the personal crisis of Hysterical Shock to the inner world of imaginative transformation through mythological imagery. She describes painting as an emotional communication and "a passion that has taken me on a journey that is starting to unlock the great mysteries of life."

THE ARTIST
Gina Bold was born in London in 1959 and worked in the fashion industry. She learnt techniques of stain glass which she made, but wanted to paint for twenty years, before doing her first painting Charlie with Wine Glass at Stuckism International in June 2002. She exhibited as a member of Students for Stuckism at The First Stuckist International 2002, and then as a guest artist in other Stuckist shows 2002-3 at Stuckism International, The Princes Foundation and Wednesbury Museum. She now works as an independent London artist.
