"DOES THAT COME IN RED?"

Candice Tripp is a South Africa born artist living in the North East of England.

At 21 her darkly humorous paintings caught the eye of a local gallery who provided the platform for her first solo show. At 22 her work was being exhibited in LA.

Child-like subjects pluck at adult themes in paintings whose narrative provide all the answers one could expect to find on single page torn from a picture book.

As a self taught painter, her ever-evolving practice now extends to include etching, sculpture, brass work and full scale installation.

She has had solo shows in London and New York, provided the award-winning artwork for Arrow Video's release of Donnie Darko and exhibited in the first inaugural Bangkok Art Biennale in 2018.

 

JEWELLERY

After discovering wax carving, jewellery felt like a natural progression. Her jewellery collection acts as an extension of her art; turning her dark, childlike subjects into miniature, wearable keepsakes. She personally carves each design in wax before having it cast in sterling silver. Recently, she has started to practice stone carving.
