In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Pauline Amos (@paulineamos_art) British born Pauline Amos is a creative performance and painting artist with a unique style of work combining performance, painting and music. Amos has a PhD from Dartington College of Arts, and has drawn international acclaim for her provocative, powerful and bold works. Amos experimented in Liverpool’s music and acting scene in the 90s before incorporating her experience into painting and performance art. In the early 2000’s, Amos held a series of in-gallery performances entitled ‘My Flesh My Canvas’, which led to exhibitions and performances throughout Europe and Asia. Other major works include a 24 hour performances in The Opera Paese Gallery, Rome, which resulted in Amos launching her first London exhibition in 2005 showing the Opera Paese Gallery performance painting with a price tag of £1.3m. A work that later became known as ‘the £1.3m’. When asked how long the painting had taken to complete, Amos replied, ‘all my life and the value of life is priceless’. The price was purposefully provocative, creating significant media comment and opinion.
