This publication documents the exhibition Stella Vine: Paintings, the
first major solo show in the UK by the enfant terrible of British art.
Stella Vine's paintings are exuberant, funny and irreverent. She is
notorious for her portraits of Kate Moss and disturbing images of
Princess Diana and the heroin victim Rachel Whitear, but she also
paints her mother and her son from photographs and memory.
Born in 1969
in Northumberland, Stella Vine studied painting part-time at Hampstead
School of Art in 1999. Her work has been included in solo and group
exhibitions in the UK and internationally, notably New Blood at the
Saatchi Gallery in 2004 when she first came to public attention. Stella
Vine currently lives and works in London. This fully illustrated
publication accompanies the exhibition Stella Vine: Paintings held at
Modern Art Oxford, July - September 2007.
