Kellie Hogben is 20 years of age, and starts the second year of a Fine Art degree at the University College of the Creative Arts, Canterbury (UCCA, previously known as KIAD) in September. She did a foundation course at UCCA also, and her secondary schooling at Clarendon House Grammar School, Ramsgate. (In case you were wondering, she went to Minster-In-Thanet C. of E. Primary School, and was born in Margate.) She studied the first year of her degree at Middlesex University but has transferred to UCCA because she was frustrated by the lack of organisation and facilities, the way the tutors contradicted each other, and the cost of living in London.
The focus of her art has always been on the figurative, most definitely shunning all that conceptual crap from the very start of her artistic development. However, recently she has also developed an abstract tendency, resulting in sudden out-pourings of patterns and markmaking. To view her full portfolio, visit her myspace page.
Outside of art she also enjoys listening to good music, making bad music, Neighbours, learning long and impressive words and laughing embarrassingly loud. She seems to dislike most things, but harbours unnaturally strong hatred for outdoor activities, knuckle-cracking and clowns. She is terrified of clowns.
She would REALLY love it if you could vote for her artwork here: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/showdown/index.php?showpic=149753
Thanks!
