Jenny Steele is a Scottish artist currently based in Manchester. Her work references 20th century architecture, most recently coastal mid war architecture and design. Jenny has a keen interest in the permanence of architecture and especially how mid-war design embodied utopic hope for the future.
She seeks to revive its positive restorative qualities through her practise which encompasses printmaking, sculpture, drawing, textiles and site-specific artwork.
Jenny’s most recent solo exhibitions include, ‘Why be Exotic in Private?’ at the Foundry Gallery in London and ‘Too much is Never Enough’ at The Breakwater, in Miami USA. Then her recent commissions and residencies include ‘Our Library of Light’ at Crosby Library and ‘A B&B’ in Blackpool which is a permanent site-specific artwork.
