Jo Stallard

An art historian by trade, Jo Stallard has a solid grounding in the whys, wherefores and mediums used by artists so her own journey as an artist seemed inevitable. Working in the traditional painting technique of ‘grisaille’ or dead painting she traverses the landscapes of the face and body, exploring the character hidden in the these forms. Looking, seeing and perceiving are the semantics of what a face has to give, share or provoke. These are the intrinsic starting places for any figurative artist.
