Visual ArtistZanny Mellor
London, United KingdomFreelance
Over the last 10 years I have worked across fine art, illustration, photography and graphic design, which has given me a varied skill set and a multi-disciplinary approach.
I have shown artwork in the Saatchi Gallery, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the Institute of Contemporary Art among many more and worked on over 30 painting commissions for public and private spaces including the London Hilton Docklands Hotel and City University London. My artworks are held in private collections across the UK, Europe, UAE, South Africa and Australia.
Design and illustration projects have included identities for small brands, event invitations and promotional material for clients such as the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich and work has been selected for the British Illustration Awards and an exhibition by Transport For London.
Working in painting, analogue and digital photography I make graphic, striking images and artworks involving dynamic shape and movement, that draw reference from travel, science, time and light. I enjoy the challenge of photographing landscape and macro detail, portraits, events, spaces, artworks and have extensive experience editing images and light retouching.
Studying for a MA in Fine Art a few years ago, I developed a critical approach to combining concept and material, visually and culturally analysing images and artworks, developing research and writing skills and refining my visual language. Always working on multiple projects at once, I have proven experience producing exhibitions, writing copy, designing and curating marketing material and social content.
