Jenny Grevatte Artist Interview 50 Years Celebration

Interview with Jenny Grevatte to celebrate 50 Years of art. Jenny Grevatte grew up in Leicester and trained at De Montfort University. In 2010 she completed a Residency at Leicesters New Walk Museum and Art Gallery where she had access to the hidden collection in the art stores for study and inspiration. This has taken her out of her comfort zone completely and she is working in new, expressive ways, painting figures and faces for the first time. Grevatte builds layers of mixed media, often including collage, to create surfaces that entice the viewer to look time and time again. Today, her work is in demand in Britain and abroad with paintings in public collections including New Hall and Christs College, Cambridge; the National Museum of Johannesburg and the Saarland State Collection, Germany
