About
Jacqueline Rana is a painter and mixed media artist who lives and works in Brighton and London. Her expanded painting practice is concerned with the sensation and experience of social bonds and relatedness, a ‘continuous process of becoming connected to people’ to consider themes of absence, conformity and displacement through history, memory and place. Her practice launched from a counter archive of found images, focuses on playing, as a complex relational dynamic to consider representation and connection.
