Geraldine Swayne

1965

Geraldine Swayne is a painter of darkly seductive images that oscillate between real and metaphysical realms, between the imaginary and the deeply familiar, her unique painterly world is peopled by a cast of strange, lost, and loved characters, present and absent. These are coaxed out of paint or ink in a highly charged manner, toying evocatively with materials and subjects without pandering to the illustrative, the obvious or the sentimental.

Geraldine Swayne studied Fine Art at Newcastle University, graduating in 1989. She won a Northern Arts Travel award in 1990 to paint and make super-8 films about Voodoo in New Orleans and later moved to Languedoc in France. Between 1991 to 2005 she became a pioneer special effects designer, working at Computer Film Company in London and Los Angeles. She also made the world’s first super-8 to Imax film, East End in 1999, which has been screened at festivals worldwide.

More recently she has performed live painting and drawing shows with Krautrock group FAUST, at for example the Wrexner Centre, Ohio and the Detroit Museum of Contemporary Art, Detroit. She is also a finalist in this year’s John Moores’ Painting Prize, at the Walker Art Centre, Liverpool.
