Candice Tripp is a South Africa born artist living in the North East of England.
At 21 her darkly humorous paintings caught the eye of a local gallery who provided the platform for her first solo show.
At 22 her work was being exhibited in LA. child-like subjects pluck at adult themes in paintings whose narrative provide all the answers one could expect to find on single page torn from a picture book.
As a self taught painter, her ever-evolving practice now extends to include etching, sculpture, brass work and full scale installation.
Jewellery and Toys
'After discovering wax carving, jewellery felt like a natural progression. Her jewellery collection acts as an extension of her art; turning her dark, childlike subjects into miniature, wearable keepsakes. She personally carves each design in wax before having it cast in sterling silver. Recently, she has started to practice stone carving.'
Candice has had solo shows in London and New York, provided the award-winning artwork for Arrow Video's release of Donnie Darko and exhibited in the first inaugural Bangkok Art Biennale in 2018.
Candice's art has been featured on film posters and the
art work for vinyl LP covers

Paul writes:
Having spent thirty years studying art, landscapes, impressionism and Japanese woodblock prints, I stumbled into a local art gallery and found the hauntingly beautiful art of Candice Tripp and my passion for contemporary art began.
Her work features children that are experiencing adult themes, Candice's art is, often, dark and otherworldly, challenging at times, featuring taboo subjects but what makes her art so stunning is her artistic ability, which is exemplary.
Everyone who sees her art are captivated by the stunning beauty of her compositions, colours and creativity.
Candice's art includes working with oils, gouache, etching, jewellery and sculpture and is a master at all these mediums and she has created a unique and absorbing genre.
