Sigrid Holmwood (19 November 1978) is a British/Swedish artist known for paintings that integrate and examine historical art practices. She lives and works in London.
Holmwood was born in 1978 in Hobart, Australia. [1] She was educated at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford ( BFA, 2000) and the Royal College of Art, London ( MA in Painting, 2002). [2]
Her paintings are historical re-enactments of the work of a painter of peasant life, referencing sixteenth century genre-painting and nineteenth century impressionism. [3] [4] [5] She sometimes performs in costume while she paints, dressed in clothing accurate to the 17th C subject of her paintings. [6] [7] In line with her interest in historical accuracy and reenacting old techniques as part of her contemporary practice, she makes her own handmade paints according to historic recipes. [7] [8] Holmwood is known to use traditional materials and techniques in a playful manner, for instance combining fluorescent pigments with egg tempera. [9] [10]
